Abstract

We report a case of pediatric pancreatic trauma induced by seat-belt injury. An 8-year-old girl with pancreatic injury induced in a traffic accident was transferred to our hospital. She sat behind the seat next to the driver with a 3-point system seat-belt. CT demonstrated pancreas head injury with fluid collection around the duodenum. However, MRCP did not demonstrate laceration of the main pancreatic duct. We treated by a fast-cure injection with a protease inhibitor. She was discharged from the hospital without complications 40 days after treatment. Pancreatic trauma is rare among abdominal trauma; however, we suspected that the position of seat-belt was not properly placed. As she did not sit on a junior-seat, this case was probably induced by sitting on an inappropriate position. Equipping junior seats for children is essential for children protection in automobiles.
