| Abstract: | A 4-year-old boy presented with a duodenal hematoma and was admitted for conservative management including nasogastric tube drainage and parenteral nutrition. Within 2 days, the child became fungemic and went on to require urgent laparotomy. This previously undescribed life-threatening complication of duodenal hematoma is discussed in the context of standard treatment of this injury. (C) 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company. |
