[Secondary perforation of the colon in a patient with blast injury of the abdomen--case report].

The patient was admitted to the M.M.A. for correction of defects of both hands seven days after injury caused by explosion. Acute abdomen developed on the same day of admission and laparotomy was performed immediately. Perforations of the cecum and distal part of the sigmoid were found. Based on the data about the time and type of injury sustained it has been concluded that secondary perforations of the colon after blast abdominal injury were present.
