Jejunal perforation after a trivial trauma is a rare event. We present a case of a 23-year-old man, a truck driver who suffered jejunal perforation following a jump from the Indian jumbo truck, approximately 2 m height from the ground. This case report highlights the importance of careful evaluation of a symptomatic patient after a trivial injury, and the challenges faced by surgeons in the low recourse-setting.
