Pseudopancreatitis in Trauma Patients

¹ Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Rambam Health Care Campus, PO Box 9602, Bat Galim, Haifa 31096, Israel.
² Department of Surgery A, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to review the significance of intra- and peripancreatic fluid in trauma patients who have no other signs of pancreatic injury.

CONCLUSION. We propose that intra- and peripancreatic fluid may be the consequence of hypovolemic shock treated with hyperhydration when there is significant delay between injury and imaging.
