- Abstract: The incidence rate of abdominal trauma is increasing year by year in pediatric trauma， and traumatic pancreatic injury should be taken seriously by clinicians. The pancreas is located behind the peritoneum， and it is difficult to make an early diagnosis of pancreatic injury， especially in children with grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ injury. Through a literature review， this article analyzes the application value of endocrine indices and abdominal ultrasound in the early diagnosis of pediatric pancreatic injury， so as to improve the rate of early diagnosis and avoid the onset of related complications. Changes of the endocrine indices such as serum insulin and C Peptide have certain advantages in diagnosing and evaluating the degree of pediatric pancreatic injury and can thus be used as early warning indices for pediatric pancreatic injury. Ultrasound elastography provides a new method for the diagnosis and differentiation of pancreatic injury； contrast-enhanced ultrasound， which has no radioactive damage， has relatively high specificity and sensitivity in identifying pediatric pancreatic injury， and therefore， it is expected to become an alternative to CT examination.
