Blunt pancreatic trauma: A persistent diagnostic conundrum?

Figure 15 Post-traumatic common hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm 22 years old man with blunt trauma abdomen. CECT axial image shows injury to head of pancreas (arrow A). MRI done 3 d later showed well defined lesion in head of pancreas with heterogeneous signal intensity on T1 weighted image (arrow B) and hyperintense on TRUFISP image (arrow C). A possibility of pseudoaneurysm was given. Angiogram showed pseudoaneurysm arising from proximal common hepatic artery (arrow D) which was embolised with Nester coils (arrow E). CECT: Contrast enhanced computed tomography; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; TRUFISP: True fast imaging with steady-state free precession.
