Abstract
A 12-year-old girl, who fell from her bicycle, presented to the emergency department with severe epigastric pain and vomiting. Physical examination revealed torso contusion with a circular handlebar bruise over the upper anterior abdomen (Fig. 1a). Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) revealed no obvious fluid accumulation. Laboratory tests indicated elevated serum amylase (252 U/L) and lipase (>400 U/L) levels. Therefore, intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with oral water-soluble contrast medium was performed to assess for any internal traumatic injury.
