Peripancreatic Vascular Abnormalities Complicating Acute Pancreatitis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a common illness with a relatively unpredictable severity course. However, in 30-40% of cases, it could be severe and associated with potentially life-threatening complications including peripancreatic vascular abnormalities. The present study was carried out in 120 cases of proven acute pancreatitis with estimation of serum amylase, serum lipase, abdominal ultrasound (US), and contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen. The peripancreatic abnormalities were observed in 18 patients on CECT. The causative factors, estimation of pancreatic enzymes in blood are discussed along with computed tomography severity index (CTSI) in acute pancreatitis.
