    AbstractBlunt abdominal trauma and delayed colon perforations are not common and usually occur in patients sustaining other injuries, but also as isolated event. We report a case of delayed perforation of sigmoid colon, three days after a blunt abdominal trauma in a male adult. It was caused by disinsertion of sigmoid colon mesentery for about ten centimeters. This condition is discussed with literature review.
