Abstract

A case is presented of isolated pancreatic transection sustained in the course of a game of Association Football [soccer]. The difficulty of early diagnosis is discussed. Emphasis is laid on the importance of possible pancreatic injury in the normotensive patient and on inspecting the posterior abdominal structures on opening the lesser sac during laparotomy.
