Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Pancreatic trauma is uncommon and severe, combined pancreaticoduodenal injuries are rare. Different surgical techniques for the management of these injuries have been used. In this article a case of severe pancreaticoduodenal injury which required pancreaticoduodenectomy is reported. This case is unusual because there was no history of trauma, the serum amylase level and abdominal radiograph were normal and the abdominal findings on admission to hospital were minimal. A system of grading pancreatic trauma in terms of severity is advocated and the management of pancreaticoduodenal injuries is discussed.
