ABSTRACT
In traffic accidents, wearing a seatbelt can cause abdominal aortic injury due to an abrupt deceleration. We report a case of abdominal aorta dissection caused by a seat belt in a frontal motor vehicle collision. The initial symptoms and signs were vague or uncertain. However, he complained severe abdominal pain with seat belt sign below the umbilicus. Abdominal computed tomography scans showed an initial flap of the abdominal aorta with hematoma and hazy stranding of the mesentery.
