Hi,

This is called abdominal contusion and is a crush consequence of abdominal wall. After this kind of vehicle accident a complete examination might be performed, in your case an abdominal CT to exclude internal bleeding and also a complete blood count to see any change. I believe you have been checked by the emergency doctors yesterday.

Sometimes, bleeding can be detectable not at the first examinations. If you had internal bleeding you had been under hemorrhagic shock, a serious situation this that you doesn't seem to have it. Anyway i recommend you going under a CT of the abdomen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Julinda Maksuti, General Surgeon
