Isolated pancreatic trauma is extremely rare because of pancreas’ anatomic localization. Also, diagnosis of pancreatic injury may be difficult due to lack of sensitivity of initial clinical findings, laboratory and imaging examinations in emergency department. Morbidity and mortality is much higher in delayed presentation or if the trauma is unrecognized. In this paper we report a 20-year-old female with isolated pancreas fracture after a blunt abdominal trauma due to a go-kart accident. Repeated evaluation of patient by taking into account of mechanism of trauma and suspicion of pancreatic injury is essential for early diagnosis.
