Abstract
Duodenal injury is an uncommon finding because of its retroperitoneal location, accounting for about 3%–5% of abdominal trauma, resulting from penetrating injuries (75%); mainly due to gunshot injuries and blunt trauma (25%), and it is associated with a significant mortality (6%–25%) and morbidity (30%–60%). In this article, we describe a case of a 17-year-old male, who presented with abdominal gunshot injury.
