INTRODUCTION
In blunt abdominal trauma, small bowel and mesentery injury (SBMI) is the third most common organ injury with an estimated incidence of 1–5% [1, 2]. Isolated SBMI lesions are uncommon and delayed diagnosis is often frequent, with increased morbidity and mortality [3].  Mesenteric injury following trauma is relatively rare. However, it is clinically important because it can be associated with intraperitoneal, gastrointestinal, or retroperitoneal bleeding, intestinal ischemia, stenosis, and/or perforation [4]. We report a rare case of a large mesenteric hematoma following blunt abdominal trauma with successful conservative management.
We report this case in line with the updated consensus-based surgical case report (SCARE) guidelines [5].
