Imaging of Blunt Pancreatic Trauma: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Purpose: Despite several published reports on the value of imaging in acute blunt pancreatic trauma, there remains a large variability in the reported performance of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this study is to present a systematic review on the utility of these imaging modalities in the acute assessment of blunt pancreatic trauma. In addition, a brief overview of the various signs of pancreatic traum… Show more

“…This is of course different in the present AT model, where the defined blast wave was centered on the central upper abdominal region, thereby impacting the pancreas in the depth 33 . However, it is tempting to speculate that pancreatic trauma in humans, although associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate, may still be underestimated, and minor damage detected only on a histological level may be missed by clinical exam or even by advanced imaging (CT scans) with reported sensitivity levels ranging between 30% and 100% 30 . Various injury patterns of abdominal organs have been proposed to be dependent on the trauma source.…”

“…33 However, it is tempting to speculate that pancreatic trauma in humans, although associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate, may still be underestimated, and minor damage detected only on a histological level may be missed by clinical exam or even by advanced imaging (CT scans) with reported sensitivity levels ranging between 30% and 100%. 30 Various injury patterns of abdominal organs have been proposed to be dependent on the trauma source. For example, whole body blast injuries due to terroristic attacks resulted in a unique injury pattern of multiple regions with predominantly hollow organ injuries, 34 which were not dominant in the current isolated AT by an abdominal-centered blast wave.…”

“…Ultrazvučni pregled pankreasa je teži od pregleda jetre i slezine iz razloga njegove retroperitonealne pozicije, te se ne smatra optimalnom dijagnostičkom metodom za detekciju traumatskih lezija 11 . Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazuju širok spektar senzitivnosti (27-96%) i specifi čnosti (69-100%) u detekciji traume pankreasa 12 . Kontuzije i hematomi pankreasa se ultrazvučno prezentuju kao fokalne hipoehogene promene, dok se laceracija vidi kao linearna hipoehogena promena.…”

“…Indirektni ultrazvučni znaci mogu pomoći u detekciji traume pankreasa, kao što su peripankreatična ili intraperitonealna slobodna tečnost, hiperehogena reakcija peripankreatičnog masnog tkiva i ultrazvučni znaci povrede drugih parenhimskih organa 11,12 . Kompletna laceracija koja prolazi kroz telo pankreasa naziva se transekcija ili fraktura pankreasa.…”
