    Author: Tostain J, El Kirat A, Chavrier Y.
    Journal: Chir Pediatr; 1980; 21(4):263-8. PubMed ID: 7408084.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 4 cases of pancreatic injury in children : 1 distal transection, 2 simple contusions and 1 pseudocyst of the head. They review the diagnostic approach to and treatment which is centered on the state of the pancreatic duct: external drainage when the pancreatic duct is safe, simple contusion or even pseudocyst, distal pancreatectomy, with or without splenectomy when the pancreatic duct has been transected in a complete pancreatic transection complicated or not with a pseudocyst.
