Abstract

Blunt trauma to the pancreas is not common. The pancreatic injury can range from simple bruising to complete transection often associated with other visceral injuries. Pseudocyst of the pancreas is a late complication presenting usually within six weeks of the injury. The treatment of choice is distal pancreatectomy.
