Pancreatic injury resulting from blunt trauma is rare but carries a high risk of significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional imaging methods often fail to detect pancreatic damage, leading to diagnostic challenges [1]. Isolated pancreatic trauma is particularly uncommon and typically occurs alongside injuries to nearby organs. Potential complications include retroperitoneal fluid collections, pancreatic fistula, ductal strictures, recurrent pancreatitis, pseudocysts, abscess formation, peritonitis, and both endocrine and exocrine insufficiency [2,3]. Although serum amylase can aid in diagnosis, it lacks both sensitivity and specificity. While computed tomography (CT) is widely used to assess hemodynamically stable patients following blunt abdominal trauma, it is not highly sensitive for detecting pancreatic injuries [4]. Contrast-enhanced CT scans can reveal direct pancreatic injuries, while non-contrast CT may show indirect signs [5]. More detailed information can be obtained through MRCP or ERCP imaging.
