Abstract
Pancreatic ductal injuries in children are rare, and ductal transections presenting in a delayed or subacute fashion are seldom reported. We describe two cases of traumatic pancreatic ductal transection secondary to physical abuse, both of which presented late to medical care. Both were managed successfully without pancreatic resection. Judicious application of non-resectional management can yield favorable outcomes in this subset of pediatric patients.Entities:
