Management is usually operative however non-operative management is a possibility especially following knife stab injuries when compared with gunshot injuries. Clinical presentation will depend on the injured organ, extent of injury and time from injury to presentation. Unusual presentation of delayed haematemesis is a possibility with injury to the stomach, however, due to its rarity, a high index of suspicion with emergency surgery will help to mitigate the fatal consequences that may follow. This type of presentation is not documented in the available on-line literature which portends the importance of this paper. This case highlights the possibility of this clinical presentation and importance of early management to improve patient outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]],"date-time":"2021-02-16T12:31:06Z","timestamp":1613478666000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An unusually delayed presentation of massive haematemesis following stab injury to the chest"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Abidemi A","family":"Adesuyi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Unit, Department of Surgery, National Hospital Abuja, Garki, Abuja, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oladele O","family":"Situ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Unit, Department of Surgery, National Hospital Abuja, Garki, Abuja, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"469","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(63)90318-0","article-title":"Gunshot wounds of the chest: diagnosis and treatment","volume":"105","author":"Creech","year":"1963","journal-title":"Am J Surg"},{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref2","first-page":"e36","article-title":"Upper gastrointestinal bleeding as delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia","volume":"2","author":"Arhami-Dolatabadi","year":"2018","journal-title":"Adv J Emerg Med"},{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Massive haematemesis due to strangulated gangrenous gastric herniation as the delayed presentation of post-traumatic diaphragmatic rupture","volume":"2010","author":"Wani","year":"2010","journal-title":"Case Rep"},{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1247","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.177.6.1771247","article-title":"Triple-contrast helical CT in penetrating torso trauma: a prospective study to determine peritoneal violation and the need for laparotomy","volume":"177","author":"Shanmuganathan","year":"2001","journal-title":"Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"418","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0000000000000120","article-title":"The persistent diagnostic challenge of thoracoabdominal stab wounds","volume":"76","author":"Berg","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Trauma Acute Care Surg"},{"key":"2021070811375761900_ref6","first-page":"1","volume-title":"9th European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery.
