Walled-off pancreatic necrosis.
Acute severe pancreatitits may be complicated by the development of 'walled-off pancreatic necrosis' (WOPN), which is characterised by a mixture of solid components and fluids on imaging studies as a consequence of organised pancreatic tissue necrosis. We present here an overview of the definition, clinical features, and diagnostic and therapeutic management of this clinical condition, which is...
متن کاملInfectious Pancreatic Necrosis
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a viral infection primarily of trout and salmon, but the virus has also been isolated from a wide variety of other fish species. The infection is characteristically seen in trout as an acute disease causing high mortality in fry and fingerlings.

Furthermore, virtually all of the mortality and most of the morbidity and cost of managing acute pancreatitis are confined to the 20% of patients that develop severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The advent of dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated that SAP was associated with pancreatic and peri pancreatic necrosis. Early in the course of SAP, the illness is dominated by t...
متن کاملInfected Peri-Pancreatic Necrosis Causing Gallbladder Necrosis by Direct Extension
Acute acalculous cholecystitis may develop in patients suffering from necrotizing pancreatitis. Conversely, acute pancreatitis may complicate acute gallbladder disease. We present a case that lends support to the existence of another possibility: gallbladder necrosis caused by direct extension of the necrotizing pancreatitic process.
