Abstract
Pancreatic injury is a formidable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge owing to its relative rarity. Most injuries are from motor vehicle related injuries in blunt trauma patients. We present a 22-year-old male patient presented after sustaining a kick to the abdomen. He developed progressive abdominal pain with vomiting with delayed generalization of the pain and involuntary guarding. On initial exploratory laparotomy, suction drainage was inserted, and patient underwent delayed spleen sparing distal pancreatectomy on the 25th post-admission day. Patient had smooth postoperative course and was discharged on the 7th postoperative day.
