Abstract

Blunt trauma to the abdomen with pancreatic laceration with its sequelae as psuedocyst of pancreas is a rare case presentation. We are presenting a rare case report in which a 45-year-old male patient presented to OPD with lump in abdomen and dull aching pain in abdomen in epigastric region since 1 month. Patient was a chronic alcoholic with history of blunt trauma abdomen 3 months back for which he took treatment in some local private clinic. Patient was admitted and investigated. Ultrasound abdomen pelvis showed pancreatic laceration with a large psuedocyst in body and tail of pancreas of size 12×11×0.4 cm. Contrast Computed Tomography revealed post traumatic pancreatitis with laceration of pancreas grade III with psuedocyst of size 15×11×0.6 cm in body and tail of pancreas with communication with pancreatic duct. Patient posted for exploratory laparotomy with open cystogastrostomy. Patient recovered well in post operative period.
