A Case of Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Traumatic Pancreatitis Treated with Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage / 대한소아소화기영양학회지

ABSTRACT

Isolated pancreatic trauma and secondary obstructive jaundice in the pediatric population is unusual. Biliary tract obstruction can be a major cause of acute pancreatitis. We report a case of obstructive jaundice secondary to isolated traumatic acute pancreatitis in a previously healthy 32-month-old girl. In our case, secondary obstructive jaundice aggravated the pancreatic inflammation and was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
