Diagnosis and Management of Two Cases of Post-Traumatic Pseudocyst in Young Adults

Abstract

Pancreatic injuries can be difficult to diagnose, given the low frequency of these injuries and the associated nonspecific clinical features, subtle imaging findings, and multiorgan trauma. The two most important determinants of outcome following pancreatic injury are the time from injury to definitive diagnosis and the status of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). We present two cases highlighting the diverse spectrum of post-traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts to underscore the importance of individualized management strategies.
