    AbstractThis case study describes an abdominal aortic injury and lumbar vertebral body fracture after blunt trauma. Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma. Recent data reveal seven other reports in the literature. We describe a case of an inframesocolic abdominal aortic injury and lumbar vertebral body fracture from blunt trauma in a 16-year-old male after a hyperextension injury while body board surfing.
