Pancreatic injuries caused by blunt abdominal trauma are rare occurrences consisting a small percentage of all pancreas injuries. Due to difficulties in diagnosis evaluation and associated injuries, blunt pancreas traumas are severe clinical cases with high mortality rates. We would like to discuss three cases admitted to our hospital last year, and current literature on diagnosis, management and surgical approach of blunt pancreas injuries. The incidents resulted from a traffic accident, a parade horse stamping the groom and a football game, in which the latter patient unfortunately died. These cases illustrate the importance of careful diagnosis, interpretation of findings and therapy planning of the acutely injured patient suffering blunt pancreatic trauma. |
