    Abstract:
    Blunt abdominal aortic injuries are extremely rare, diagnosed in less than 0.05% of all trauma admissions. Aortic injury caused by a seat belt during a car accident is often referred as "seat-belt aorta". We present a case of an 18-year-old woman, restrained back passenger involved in a vehicular collision, sustaining vertebral column and multiple rib fractures, mesenterium and colonic injury, and infrarenal aortic contusion with localized dissection and partial thrombosis.
