Abstract

Duodenal perforation has a high incidence of complications and mortality if not detected and treated early. Delayed diagnosis of duodenal perforation is frequent because patients rarely complain of any symptoms. We report a case of duodenal perforation that appeared after trauma and was cured by using conservative treatment.
