Objective Toexplore the CT imaging features of traumatic pancreatitis. Methods 81 cases of patientswith traumatic pancreatitis admitted intothe hospital from February 2012 to October 2014 wereslected as the research object which was included in the research group (group A, n=81), 81 cases of patients with common pancreatitis over the same period admitted into the hospital were included into the control group (group B, n=81). The two groups of patients all received CT examination. The CT images were observed. The differences in CT signs, pancreatic form, the form of renal fascia, the structure of the pancreas, the occurrence of pseudocyst, conditions of effusion andintraperitoneal free gas and the changes of surrounding fat space density were recorded. Results The differences in perirenal and pleural effusion, morphological changes of renal fascia and the occurrence of pseudocystin the two groups of patients were not statistically significant (P>0.05). There 56 cases (69.1%)of patients with single CT sign in group A which were significantly higher than 27 cases (33.3%)in group B and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), in group B, there were 29 cases(35.8%) of omental effusion, 25 cases(30.9%) of peritoneal effusion, 33 cases(40.7%) of enlargement of pancreatic form and distinct structure of the pancreas, 23 cases of (28.4%)surrounding fat space density, 15 cases (18.5%) of intraperitoneal free air, which were significantly higher than 9 cases (11.1%), 7 cases (8.6%), 7 cases (8.6%), 7 cases (8.6%) and 5 cases (6.2%) in group A and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion CT imageological examination can be used as the important basis for clinical differential diagnosis of traumatic pancreatitis and common pancreatitis, which is worthy of clinical popularization.
