Duct-related complications of pediatric post-traumatic pancreatitis: A case report from Syria.
Int J Surg Case Rep
January 2025
Gastroenterology Interventional Endoscopy Department, Syrian Specialty Hospital, Damascus, Syria.
Introduction: Pancreatic trauma is a rare type of abdominal injury, representing only 0.3 % of pediatric trauma cases. This condition may progress to chronic pancreatitis and result in multiple complications following damage to the pancreatic duct.

Article Synopsis
- A rare case report discusses a 20-year-old Iranian woman who experienced a ruptured right common iliac aneurysm one year after having deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which was treated with rivaroxaban.
- The surgical repair was successful, but she faced complications, including abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction, and a large pancreatic pseudocyst, despite ongoing anticoagulant therapy.
- The report highlights the unusual link between DVT and vascular aneurysms and emphasizes the need to consider potential complications arising from aneurysms when treating DVT in patients.
Successful treatment of grade III traumatic pancreatic injury with non-operative management: a case report.

According to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, distal pancreatectomy or pancreatic duct drainage is recommended for grade III traumatic pancreatic injuries. We report a case of traumatic pancreatic injury involving the main pancreatic duct in which this method failed to drain fluid from the area distal to the injury site. A 19-year-old woman presented with a bruised upper left abdomen after a bicycle fall.

In addition to being a drainage system, the lacrimal ducts actively defend the eye through the action of the lacrimal pump, the presence of resident flora (lacriome) and the mucosa-associated immune tissue. Infection occurs when mucosal immune functions are overwhelmed. Lacrimal infection is a vicious circle, in which infection leads to inflammation and post-inflammatory sequelae, themselves a source of occlusion and stagnation, which in turn encourages infection.

Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study involving 13 pediatric trauma centers examined the effects of a standardized non-operative management (NOM) approach for children with blunt traumatic pancreatic laceration and ductal injury between 2018-2022.
- Results showed that most patients recovered quickly with a low-fat diet starting after a median of 4 days, and hospital stays averaging 8 days, while complications like cyst development were significantly reduced compared to a historical variable management cohort.
- The findings suggest that using a consistent NOM protocol can improve patient outcomes and that pancreatic ascites at presentation might indicate a higher risk of developing pseudocysts in these cases.
