AN UNUSUAL CASE OF A LARGE INCISIONAL HERNIA PRESENTING WITH ACUTE PANCREATITIS
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
We report an unusual case of an 83year old lady presenting with acute pancreatitis due to a large incisional hernia containing the second part of the duodenum and the ampulla causing mechanical obstruction of the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct. Surgical management was not undertaken due to the patient’s age and functional status. She was managed conservatively and was discharged following clinical improvement and normalisation of laboratory tests.
