Upper abdominal trauma: pitfalls in CT diagnosis.

Abstract: Medical records and computed tomographic (CT) scans of 83 patients with upper abdominal trauma were retrospectively reviewed to determine errors in diagnosis using CT. Patients with possible pancreatic injury, small bowel perforation, or injury to an occult malignancy represented the most difficult diagnostic cases. A false-positive diagnosis of pancreatic injury occurred in seven of 77 patients (9%) and represented the most frequent error in the series. In three patients with subsequently surgically proved sm… Show more
