| description | Abstract Background Pancreatic injury presented as isolated injury in the pediatric population is exceptionally rare, with a conveyed incidence of less than 2% of all abdominal trauma injuries cases and a very controversial management approach for grade III injuries. Case presentation A 16-year-old adolescent Sudanese boy was referred to our emergency department with a 5-day history of upper and left hypochondrial pain after blunt abdominal trauma to the epigastric region with a solid object. Grade III pancreatic body trauma with major duct involvement can be successfully treated operatively. The boy was discharged home on day 10 with regular oral intake and diet. A follow-up for 6 months continued by phone, and it was uneventful with no further complications. Conclusions Roux-en-Y pancreatojejunostomy reconstruction can be a safe and valuable surgical option when the surgical approach is considered for grade III pancreatic injury. |
