Case report: The "veiled right kidney sign"--an ultrasound finding in retroperitoneal perforation of the duodenum

RG McWilliams, A Blakeborough, MI Johnson and M Weston
Department of Radiology, St James's University Hospital, Leeds, UK.

We report a case of traumatic duodenal perforation where the diagnosis was first considered during abdominal ultrasound examination. A subsequent CT scan identified the site of perforation which was confirmed at laparotomy. This condition typically produces few clinical signs or symptoms initially but has a high mortality related to delayed diagnosis. The ultrasound findings that prompted early diagnosis are described.
