RESUMO
Objective To study CT features and pathological basis of blunt pancreatic trauma (BPT). Methods CT findings of five patients with BPT were analyzed and correlated with operative and pathological reports. Results Two patients, with complete pancreatic disruption and intrapancreatic hematoma respectively, without diagnosing and operating in time, were associated with severe complications such as severe pancreatitis, infection and abscess, and increased period in hospital. Three patients with diagnosing and operating in time recovered soon. Conclusion CT is an effective modality for diagnosing of the patients with BPT. Correct CT diagnosis is very important for the effective surgical treatment as well as reduction of severe complications and mortality of BPT, especially for the patients with severe BPT.
