Abstract

Three cases of severe mesenteric and intestinal injuries in patients using seat belts in head-on collisions are presented. All three had other multiple injuries, and two had the sign of contusion and ecchymosis in the abdominal area. As more patients are saved from ejection and death by the use of seat belts, physicians will need to become increasingly aware of the possibility of intra-abdominal injuries in victims of automobile crashes.
