Massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding – complication of pancreatic pseudocyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Massive bleeding is an unusual complication of pancreatitis. Most patients have chronic pancreatic disorders associated with pancreatic pseudocyst. We present the case of a patient, aged 49 years, known with alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis, corporeal-caudal pancreatic pseudocyst expanded in the omental bursa, admitted to the emergency room because of hematemesis and melena, the endoscopy revealing, as a source, the erosion through the posterior gastric wall by the pseudocyst. The gastrostomy and haemostasis in situ of the source and the pseudocyst-gastric anastomosis was the solution adopted, with favourable long-term evolution.
