| Abstract: | Children are at increased risk of intra-abdominal injury with blunt trauma seen in over 90% of cases with the spleen being the most common organ injured. Contrast CT scanning remains the investigation of choice and nonoperative management is successfully used in over 95% of patients' care when circumstances are favorable. Penetrating injuries are less common but often require operative management. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022. All rights reserved. |
