RESUMEN
We are reporting a rare case of an isolated duodenal injury (IDI) involving the second and third parts of the duodenum in a 22-year-old male patient following a blunt abdominal trauma. The purpose of this paper is to report the clinical findings, cross-sectional imaging findings, and management of IDI. As IDI can be vague clinically, the presence of periduodenal free fluid on computed tomography scan should raise the suspicion of the diagnosis. Early recognition and management are essential to prevent associated morbidity and mortality.
