dc.description.abstractThere are many recorded cases in the medical literature where it has been determined that blunt injury to the abdomen may injure any organ or structure within the abdomen. There were, however, no recorded cases of acute appendicitis resulting from blunt abdominal trauma. This is one case recorded in this paper where acute appendicitis has followed a steering wheel injury in a motor vehicle accident. It is hoped that this incident will draw attention to similar cases considering the great frequency of motor vehicle accidents. Besides the main case study of a 21 year old which is discussed in detail, the author presents other unusual cases of unfortunate individuals who suffered an organ injury after a motor vehicle accident.en_GB
