Can early endoscopic ultrasound predict pancreatic necrosis in acute pancreatitis?
BACKGROUND Presence of pancreatic/extrapancreatic necroses (PN/EPN) is an important prognostic indicator in acute pancreatitis (AP) and their early detection is a challenge. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides high resolution images of pancreas but there is paucity of data on its role in AP. METHODS Consecutive patients with AP seen at our center from December 2012-November 2013 and presenti...

The aim of this study was to identify the utility of EUS in determining the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).

متن کاملRole of endoscopic ultrasound in idiopathic pancreatitis
Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is defined based on the occurrence of two or more episodes of acute pancreatitis. The initial evaluation fails to detect the cause of RAP in 10%-30% of patients, whose condition is classified as idiopathic RAP (IRAP). Idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) is a diagnostic challenge for gastroenterologists. In view of associated morbidity and mortality, it is impo...
متن کاملEndoscopic Management of Acute Pancreatitis
Determining the cause of acute pancreatitis is not usually difficult. Acute pancreatitis results most commonly from alcohol abuse or gallstone disease. These etiologies account for 60-80% of the cases. Medications, infection, metabolic, traumatic, toxins, hereditary, post-ERCP, postoperative, etc. are causative in about 10-20%. In these cases the relationship of the episode of pancreatitis to t...
متن کاملEosinophilic Pancreatitis Diagnosed With Endoscopic Ultrasound
Eosinophilic pancreatitis (EP) is a rare clinical entity, and few cases have been reported. It usually presents on imaging as a pancreatic mass leading to common bile duct obstruction and jaundice. Since it can mimic a malignancy, eosinophilic pancreatitis is often diagnosed after "false positive" pancreatic resections. To our knowledge, we report the only known case of EP in which the diagnosi...
