Acute pancreatitis caused by impaction of hydatid membranes in the papilla of Vater: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of hydatidosis and the successful use of endoscopic sphincterotomy associated with extraction of hydatid membranes has been rarely reported. We describe a young man who developed acute pancreatitis after rupture of an echinococcus cyst, located at the left hepatic lobe, into the biliary tract. The cause of pancreatitis was confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, which revealed the presence of a daughter cyst impacted in the major papilla. After sphincterotomy and removal of hydatid membranes from the biliary tract, the patient presented rapid resolution of pancreatitis and made an uneventful recovery.

متن کاملCancer of the papilla of Vater in which a needle knife precut papillotomy was effective for the pre-operative diagnosis and biliary drainage – report of a case
The histopathological diagnosis for periampullary tumours is difficult because the accuracy of papillary forceps biopsy is unsatisfactory. Precut papillotomy has recently been performed if endoscopic biliary cannulation is necessary but difficult. Precut papillotomy after placing a pancreatic stent decreases the risk of acute pancreatitis compared to without pancreatic stent. We describe an 80-...

متن کاملFamilial hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis: A case report
Acutepancreatitis can infrequently be a life-threatening complication of hypertriglyceridemia. Rarely, hypertriglyceridemia can originate from an inborn genetic error in lipoproteins metabolism. This condition can be manifested by very high serum triglyceride levels (>1000 mg/dl) and a more severe and lethal form of pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of acute pancreatic which was found out t...
