Abstract
Three cases of pancreatitis occurring after a trauma to the pancreas a re reported. They emphasize the difficulty of diagnosis at the initial phase of the condition. In all cases, computerized tomography (CT) sc an was the main diagnostic method. Applying the same therapeutic strat egy for pancreatitis as for other aetiologies facilitated a favourable outcome.
