    This document discusses the differential diagnoses for blunt abdominal trauma. Common mistakes in diagnosis include failure to suspect injury from appropriate traumatic mechanisms, failure to evaluate abdominal pain after trauma, and failure to obtain timely surgical consultation. Potential differential diagnoses include domestic violence, hemorrhagic stroke, hypovolemic shock, lower and upper genitourinary trauma, and penetrating abdominal trauma. The workup may include diagnostic testing but surgery should not be delayed for hemodynamically unstable patients with suspected internal bleeding.

    Diagnostic Considerations
    Identification of intra­abdominal injuries can be challenging. Common pitfalls in diagnosis include
    the following:

    Failure to suspect intra­abdominal injury from appropriate mechanisms
    Failure to evaluate abdominal/flank/costal margin pain after blunt abdominal injury
    Failure to obtain timely surgical consultation and operative intervention
    Failure to recognize intra­abdominal hemorrhage and delay operation for additional
    diagnostic testing in the face of hemodynamic compromise
