Assessment of pancreatic duct damage following trauma: is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography the gold standard?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 12-year-old girl was admitted as an emergency with blunt pancreatic trauma. Computed tomography (CT) showed an intact pancreas. She failed conservative treatment. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) demonstrated division of the pancreatic duct at the neck of pancreas. At laparotomy, however, there was complete necrosis of the pancreatic head. She recovered well following enteric drainage of the body of pancreas. CT and ERCP are considered the optimal imaging for pancreatic trauma but the findings may be misleading.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with pancreatic trauma.
BACKGROUND : Pancreatic injury occurs in from 3% to 12% of patients with abdominal trauma. In many instances, a lack of impressive findings in the first 24 hours leads to a delay in diagnosis. Because pancreatic duct disruption is the major cause of traumatic pancreatitis, we evaluated our experience with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients suspected of having of h...

Iopamidol is an iodinated nonionic monomer and low-osmolar contrast medum (LOCM) used almost during each endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for visualization of either or both primary pancreatic or biliary ducts. During ERCP, the pancreas is exposed to chemical, hydrostatic or physical injury caused by injection of iopamidol solutions through the cannulated Vater ampulla. The...

Pancreas divisum is the most common congenital anatomic variation of the pancreatic ductal anatomy and in most of the individuals it is asymptomatic. However, in minority of individuals it is presumed to cause recurrent acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the gold standard for its diagnosis, but is invasive and associated with significa...

As an invasive procedure endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is prone to develop complications including; pancreatitis, bleeding, cholangitis, and perforation. There are also other complications like pneumothorax, which are so rare. Although this complication is rare, delay in its management may lead to lethal consequences. The present study report a case of post- ERCP pneumothora...
