Pancreatic trauma (grade III)

Discussion:

This is a case of post traumatic pancreatic fistulation secondary to parenchymal laceration injuring main pancreatic duct (AAST grade III). There is secondary amylase rich pseudocyst formation. Whilst the most common etiology of pseudocyst formation is acute or chronic pancreatic inflammation, trauma is another less common etiology that should be kept in mind. They tend to resolve over a period of time. Should they not, options of drainage or resection will need to be considered.
