“…In our study, 41 cases of acute fluid collection were found in 100 patients (Table 1). However in a study conducted in the USA, there were 16 patients with 'pancreatic fluid collections' in a group of 32 patients with complicated pancreatitis [15].…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the complications of acute pancreatitis in tertiary care hospital. Methods: Hundred patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were analyzed in this prospective cohort study from July 2015 to July 2016. Complications were studied. Cholelithiasis was found to be the most common cause of acute pancreatitis in our setting. Results: Acute pancreatitis is defined as reversible inflammation of pancreatic parenchyma which is characterized by the presence of interstitial edema, acute inflammatory cell infiltrate and varying degree of cellular apoptosis, necrosis and hemorrhage. Cholelithiasis and alcohol were found to be the most common causes of acute pancreatitis. Alcohol, Smoking, some medications are the major risk factors. The major complications of acute pancreatitis are pseudocyst, pleural effusion, sepsis, shock or internal bleeding, fluid collection, ascites. Conclusion: Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal ailments with high morbidity and mortality worldwide and at our set up too. Like any other disease occurrence of complications may worsen the prognosis of acute pancreatitis. Acute fluid collection around pancreas came out to be the common complication.

“…Out of these USG is the initial investigation modality when acute cholecystitis is suspected. [4,7,8,15] Sonographic appearances of GB perforation are diverse and nonspecific. It will show signs of acute cholecystitis like wall thickening (>3mm), distension (largest diameter >3.5-4cm), gall stones, coarse intracholecystic echogenic debris and bile duct dilatation and gap or 'hole sign' in the GB wall.…”

“…It has a reported mortality rate of 12%-42%. [2,3] Imaging plays a crucial role in differentiating complicated and uncomplicated acute cholecystitis., [4,5] as signs and symptoms of perforation do not differ significantly from those of uncomplicated cholecystitis. [1,6,7] METHODS It is an observational study done in thirteen (13) patients with Ultrasonographic diagnosis of GB perforation during the year 2012-2015.…”

BACKGROUNDNon-traumatic Gallbladder (GB) perforation is a rare and severe complication of acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. This entity requires importance, because of associated high morbidity and mortality rates due to delay in diagnosis and treatment, since signs and symptoms of perforation do not differ significantly from those of uncomplicated cholecystitis. [1] We undertook the study to analyze patients diagnosed preoperatively as GB perforation with pericholecystic abscess or biloma formation on USG and confirmed at surgery.

“…4,[10][11][12][13] The first mechanism is consisted of pancreatic enzyme released following acute pancreatitis into the lesser sac spreading along the lesser omentum and gastrohepatic ligaments. This mechanism explains why IHPPs are frequently observed in the left lobe.…”

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a common complication of acute pancreatitis. Pseudocysts are commonly observed in the lesser sac and retroperitoneum; they are rarely seen in the liver. Herein, we report a case of intrahepatic pseudocyst, complicated by asymptomatic groove pancreatitis, that has successfully been treated with hepatic resection. A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with severe upper abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed 11x10 cm sized cystic lesion in the left lateral section of the liver. Appearance of the pancreas was relatively normal. Endoscopic aspiration revealed a high level of amylase in the cystic fluid. After endoscopy, signs of peritonitis were observed; then, a left hemihepatectomy was performed. Pathologic examination revealed an intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst. The presence of intrahepatic cystic lesion in patients with suspected pancreatitis should raise the suspicion of intrahepatic pseudocyst. Intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocysts may be the only clinical manifestation even without an episode of acute pancreatitis. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2017;70:202-207)
