Abstract:
Liver hydatid cysts are known to rupture into the biliary tree, but acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of intra-biliary rupture. Intra-biliary rupture was first reported in 1928 by Dew. Intra-biliary rupture is a serious complication of hepatic hydatid cysts. The incidence varies from 1% to 25% in adult patients. In our case, we aimed to show the migration of the material of a hepatic hydatid cyst to the common bile duct and the impaction of hydatid membrane in the papillary orifice, which may cause acute pancreatitis. Parasitic infections should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis.

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.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
