AbstractPancreatic injuries, though rare, are associated with high morbidity because of location of pancreas adjacent to the various hollow and solid organs. Difficulty in early diagnosis adds to morbidity. Condition of the pancreatic duct is an important factor in grading the injury and deciding upon course of management. Conservative management is the line of treatment in lower grade injuries. Higher grades of pancreatic injuries are usually managed surgically. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) has recently emerged as an effective diagnostic as well as therapeutic modality for hepatobiliary and pancreatic pathologies. Presently described is case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with post-traumatic complete transection of pancreatic duct, which was successfully managed by ERCP-guided stenting of the duct. Therapeutic advantages of ERCP in trauma setting and difficulties involved are highlighted.
