ABSTRACT

We report a 34 years old male that while working in forest activities, suffered a blunt trauma caused by the trunk of a tree. On abdominal examination, a bulging on the right upper quadrant with ecchymoses was noted. And abdominal CAT scan showed a great defect of right oblique and transverse abdominis muscles with herniation of the ascending colon. The patient was operated, finding a hemoperitoneum. The abdominal cavity was washed thoroughly and the wall defect was covered with a mesh. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged nine days later.


Las hernias traumáticas de pared abdominal (HTPA) son una patología poco frecuente. Se definen como la rotura musculofascial causada por un traumatismo directo, sin penetración de la piel ni evidencia de hernia previa en el sitio de la lesión. El 78 por ciento son causadas por accidentes viales y en menor frecuencia por patadas de animales, caídas de altura, traumas deportivos, utensilios profesionales y aplastamientos. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 34 años derivado al Servicio de Urgencia del Hospital de Chillan por atrición toracoabdominal derecha, en faena forestal, cuyo estudio tomográfico revela gran defecto de músculos oblicuos y transversos derechos con herniación de colon ascendente hacia la pared abdominal.
