Abstract:
A 54-year-old man presented with melena and was conservatively monitored for duodenitis. He developed epigastric pain, and dynamic computed tomography revealed abnormal blood flow in the pancreatic head. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiography revealed that the common bile and pancreatic ducts were simultaneously enhanced, thereby indicating the perforation of an arteriovenous malformation into both ducts. Despite medical treatment, the epigastric pain rapidly worsened and therefore, pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. The present report suggests that if the patient's general condition permits, surgical resection should be actively considered for the treatment of symptomatic pancreatic arteriovenous malformation.

Pancreatic Juice and Secretion
When acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin, a hormone that prompts pancreatic juice secretion. After a fatty meal, cholecystokinin, another hormone, stimulates gallbladder contraction and enhances enzyme-rich...
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:
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...
