title: Posttraumatic pancreatic fistula cured by endoprosthesis in the pancreatic duct.
abstract: We report a case of pancreatic fistula attributable to posttraumatic rupture of the main duct that was undiagnosed before ERCP and was cured instantaneously by endoscopic placement of an endoprosthesis in the pancreatic duct after failure of conventional medical treatment.
