 Introduction : The subtle signs and reports in in the early post traumatic time delays the treatment for post traumatic pancreatitis . Where the

morbidity and mortality rates are signicantly high. This study from our institution is about the management of 25 cases of post traumatic
pancreatitis in our institution.
Materials and methods : 25 patients who were managed for post traumatic pancreatitis in our institution between August 2015 and April 2018
were studied .Demographic and Clinical data , lab investigations , mode of injury , imaging ndings and the management were recorded and
analysed.
Results : 17 patients were males and 8 were females with mean age of 31.
7 had penetrating injuries and 18 had blunt injury .
Among the 18 who had blunt injury 11 followed an automobile accident, 4 had a classical cycle bar injury and 3 had presented with injury after an
assault.
16 patients were managed surgically mainly because of bad hemodynamic status and associated injuries of other organs.
9 patients underwent ERCP . 6 had pancreatic ductal disruption and were stented for the other 3 sphincterotomy and conservative management was
done .
