Pancreatic laceration

Discussion:

This pancreatic laceration was managed non-operatively, although the patient did go on to develop a pseudocyst. 

Pancreatic lacerations can be difficult to identify but as in this case, there are a few subtle clues such as pancreatic edema, linear hypodensity, as well as surrounding fat stranding and fluid/hematoma.
