Reversible pancreatic duct stricture after a blunt abdominal trauma

A 32-year-old man developed acute pancreatitis with a main duct stricture r esulting from blunt abdominal trauma sustained during a car accident 11 wee ks before admission. No interventions were performed and unusually, after 3 months' follow-up, the pancreatic main duct stricture resolved and the pat ient remained asymptomatic. There are no other reports in the literature de monstrating resolution of pancreatic main duct stricture without any endosc opic or surgical treatment subsequent to a blunt abdominal trauma.
