A number of patients who remain hemodynamically stable after trauma with minimal abdominal signs may initially be evaluated using an ultrasound, especially in rural areas or small clinics where computed tomography (CT) scan is not available. Pancreatic injury by virtue of its location in retro-peritoneal space can remain asymptomatic initially or present with non-specific signs and symptoms. During initial evaluation of abdominal injury, attention is generally absorbed on the more immediate and catastrophic injuries like the liver and spleen injuries leading to hemorrhagic shock or intestinal perforation leading to septic shock or peritonitis. Solitary pancreatic injury is uncommon and 80 to 90% patients of pancreatic trauma have at least one other associated abdominal organ injury ( 4). The most common mechanisms of injury include motor vehicle accidents in adults and bicycle handle bar injuries in children ( 3). The incidence of pancreatic injury in blunt abdominal trauma is estimated to be 2 to 5% ( 1, 2). Pancreas is a less commonly injured organ in blunt abdominal trauma. Keywords: Pancreatic injury, missed injury, blunt trauma abdomen, ultrasound abdomen Introduction In our series, there was significant morbidity of missed pancreatic injury. There was no mortality.Ĭonclusion: Pancreatic injury may be missed in patients who remain hemodynamically stable with minimal clinical symptoms after abdominal trauma, especially if screened only by an ultrasound. Three patients required pancreatic duct stenting for pancreatic fistula. Eleven (35.4%) patients needed readmissions to manage recurrent pancreatitis, intra-abdominal abscess and pancreatic fistula.

Seven (22.5%) patients were managed conservatively, seventeen (54.8%) underwent percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal collections, seven (22.5%) underwent endoscopic or surgical drainage procedure for symptomatic pseudocyst. On repeat imaging, 18 (58.1%) patients had high grade pancreatic injuries including complete transection or pancreatic duct injury. A delayed diagnosis of pancreatic injury was made at a mean of 28 (4 to 60) days after trauma when patients developed abdominal pain (31), distension (18), fever (10) or vomiting (8). All patients were hemodynamically stable following trauma and most (21) were initially assessed only by an ultrasound.

Results: A total of 31 patients with missed pancreatic injury were identified.

Material and Methods: We retrospectively (2009-2019) analyzed the details and outcome of patients who underwent conservative management of blunt abdominal trauma, where the diagnosis of pancreatic injury was missed for at least 72 hours following trauma. This study aimed to analyze the management and outcomes of patients in whom the pancreatic injury was missed during the initial evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma. Objective: Pancreas is a less commonly injured organ in blunt abdominal trauma.
