Abstract

Blunt traumatic injury to the pancreas is uncommon, accounting for less than 2 % of all cases of blunt abdominal trauma. Diagnosis and accurate grading of pancreatic injury is important, as the presence of pancreatic ductal injury mandates operative intervention, and delayed recognition of ductal injury frequently results in significant morbidity such as necrotizing pancreatitis or pseudocyst formation and a patient’s death. When a definitive diagnosis is delayed for more than 24 h, up to 40 % of patients are at risk of death, as opposed to about 10 % of those patients operated on within 24 h.
