Abstract:
The mean age is 50. Symptoms include acute abdominal pain, hypotensive shock, GI bleeding, biliary colic, jaundice, and/or acute anemia. Less often, pancreatico-duodenal aneurysms may be fortuitously diagnosed by abdominal imaging. Rupture of a PDAA is a grave complication with high mortality and demands urgent intervention. Arterial embolization is the treatment of choice; surgical intervention should be reserved for failures of embolization. We report a case of PDAA successfully treated by arterial embolization but which posed problems in both diagnosis and treatment.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
