Abstract:
Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding that often presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here we report a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus in the setting of acute pancreatitis identified on upper endoscopy as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and treated successfully with gastroduodenal artery (GDA) embolization by interventional radiology. Early recognition of this condition is imperative to avoid fatal outcomes in untreated cases.
