Closed trauma of the pancreas is the fourth injury of solid organs in children. These are lesions with difficult diagnosis. They are the cause of many complications. The purpose of our work is to report through a case admitted to our service, the different radiological signs pointing to pancreatic trauma, illustrate the classifications of lesions of the duodeno-pancreatic block in children. The complications are numerous and should be looked for in control imaging. The treatment of pancreatic trauma is very controversial, conservative management is the rule except in major lesion with ductal involvement.
