ABSTRACT
Patients with trivial blunt abdominal trauma may present with isolated jejunal blow out [IJBO]. A high index of suspicion is required as delayed presentation or delayed diagnosis may increase morbidity. Presentation with frank perforation peritonitis can be diagnosed by abdominal X-rays. We report the case of a patient who presented with features of peritonitis 10 days after being injured by a knee kick trauma. An erect abdominal X-ray showed extraluminal air-fluid levels, suggesting a hollow viscous injury which on exploration was found to be IJBO
