Abstract
Trauma is the leading cause of death in children of all ages. The most common site of injury in pediatric patients is the head followed by the extremities and the abdomen. Though less than 10% of admissions to the hospital are secondary to intra-abdominal injuries, mortality related to these injuries is not insignificant. Pancreatic and duodenal trauma occurs in 3 to 12% of the patients with abdominal injuries and can be associated with significant morbidity. The management of pancreatic and duodenal trauma in children is based mostly on adult data, but there is an increasing volume of research on the subject.
