Content: Duodenal hematoma was excluded; the spleen also appeared normal. CT scans of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine were unremarkable. Figure 1. CT scan of the abdomen demonstrating complete transection of the pancreas at the junction of the body and tail approximately 24 hours following initial injury. Arrow indicates pancreatic transection. She was subsequently transferred to our institution for definitive management. Upon arrival, the patient remained tachycardic and normotensive. Her physical exam revealed similar findings to those reported at the outside hospital and she was brought to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy and anticipated distal pancreatectomy. Intraoperatively, the pancreatic transection was evident through the pancreatic body without vascular injuries.
