ABSTRACT
The seat belt has reduced mortality and morbidity caused by motor vehicle accidents. Nevertheless, the seat belt has been associated with multiple abdominal injuries. We present the case of a 31 year old male referred after he was involved in a high-speed motor vehicle accident. He was wearing a seat belt when he sustained injuries and bruising across the abdomen at the seat belt area. Clinical examination and Computerized Tomography were not helpful in early detection of intra-abdominal injuries. The presence of "seat belt sign" across the abdomen should increase the index of suspicion of the presence of serious intra-abdominal injuries
