چکیده
Acute acalculous cholecystitis may develop in patients suffering from necrotizing pancreatitis. Conversely, acute pancreatitis may complicate acute gallbladder disease.

متن کاملWalled-off pancreatic necrosis: where are we?
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is a well-circumscribed area of necrosis which occurs as a late complication of acute pancreatitis, generally after four weeks from the initial attack.

The impact of the onset of pancreatic necrosis ...
