description The diagnostic evaluation of pancreatic injuries has improved dramatically in recent years. However, it is sometimes difficult to diagnose pancreatic injuries. Surgical treatment after delayed diagnosis is associated with increased risks of mortality and morbidity. A 47-year-old man was referred to our emergency department after experiencing blunt abdominal trauma 5 d earlier. The patient was diagnosed with a grade-III pancreatic injury. His hemodynamic status remained stable. He was managed successfully using endoscopic pancreatic stenting and percutaneous drainage catheter insertion.
