title: [Pancreatic trauma successfully treated by endoscopy].
abstract: Acute post traumatic pancreatitis is an infrequent disease representing 0.4% of the acute pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation. Few data have been reported in the literature with regard to response to treatment, particularly in cases of small or multiple pseudocysts. Internal surgical drainage is the usual treatment. Different therapeutic alternatives have been proposed among which conservative treatment with total parenteral nutrition, somatostatin or octreotide, or more recently, endoscopy may be included. We herein present one case of acute post traumatic pancreatitis initially treated with conservative treatment which evolved to the formation of pseudocysts which were satisfactorily drained by endoscopic cystogastrostomy.
