Abstract:   (7483 Views)
Inferior vena cava injury in abdominal trauma is rare but it puts a big problem in front of trauma surgeon. Despite improvements in preoperative care, skills and surgical facilities, inferior vena cava injury mortality rate remains high. The most important factors that play a prominent role in mortality are presence of shock on admission, anatomic level of vena caval injury or other major vascular and visceral injuries. In this article we have reported successfully treated a case of the inferior vena cava injury after penetrating abdominal trauma in old age man with hemorrhagic shock, survived due to immediate laparotomy, successful surgical management with team approach and critical postoperative surgical management without any residual complication.
Keywords: Inferior Vena Cava, Massive haemoperitoneum, abdominal trauma, hemorrhagic shock
