    Area of Science:

    • Traumatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Blunt abdominal trauma can lead to severe intra-abdominal injuries.
    • Pancreatic transection is a rare but devastating consequence of high-energy impact.
    • Karate, a martial art, involves dynamic movements and potential for forceful impacts.

    Observation:

    • A case of complete pancreatic transection occurred during karate training.
    • The patient presented with clinical features suggestive of abdominal injury.
    • Diagnosis was significantly delayed, complicating management.

    Findings:

    • Total transection of the pancreas was confirmed.
    • Clinical manifestations were consistent with severe pancreatic injury.
    • Delayed diagnosis led to challenges in treatment and potential for complications.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for severe internal injuries from seemingly non-contact martial arts.
    • Emphasizes the importance of high index of suspicion for pancreatic injury in trauma.
    • Underscores the critical role of timely diagnosis and intervention in managing pancreatic transection.
