Abstract
Blunt abdominal trauma continues to be the most common cause of injury to the abdomen. Peritonitis is the outstanding feature of hollow organs rupture, while internal hemorrhage is that one of solid organs injury. Accurate diagnosis and prevention of unneeded surgery is an important goal in patient management. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of US, CT and DPL in patients who were diagnosed clinically to have intraabdominal injury after blunt abdominal trauma. US and CT were done to all patients but DPL was done only to patients who underwent laparotomy. US and CT had an accuracy of 90% in spite of that the CT shows definite injury more than US, but US did not miss major injury that need exploration. DPL had a 100% accuracy as it was done after US and CT. It may be useful where US and / or CT are not available. (Author / FT).
