Abstract :
High-pressure water jet injuries to the abdomen are extremely rare, but can cause serious damages to intraperitoneal organs. A case of 53-year-old man was injured on the right-side of the abdomen by a high-pressure water jet from sprinkler truck. On laparotomy, ischemic change of the terminal ileum and ascending colon, hemoperitoneum with mesenteric tearing, and inferior vena cava injury were noted.
