Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

72
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
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...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

93
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

External Anatomy of the Kidney

804
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Pancreas

503
The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

336
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
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:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A large pancreatic pseudocyst caused hydronephrosis and was successfully treated with a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure. This advanced endoscopy relieved the patient's obstruction, demonstrating an effective alternative to surgery for pancreatic pseudocyst management.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Pancreatic Diseases

Background:

  • Pancreatic cysts, including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, can be asymptomatic or cause complications like obstruction.
  • Pancreatic pseudocysts can lead to significant symptoms, such as hydronephrosis, when they enlarge and compress surrounding structures.

Observation:

  • An elderly female presented with abdominal pain and was found to have an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with ductal dilatation.
  • A subsequent large pancreatic pseudocyst caused left hydronephrosis, necessitating transfer to a tertiary care center.
  • The pseudocyst measured 11 cm x 7 cm and was causing significant obstruction.

Findings:

  • Minimally invasive advanced endoscopy using a Hot AXIOS (LAMS) cystogastrostomy tube was performed.
  • Cytopathology results were negative for malignancy.
  • Post-procedure imaging showed near-complete resolution of the pancreatic pseudocyst.

Implications:

  • Cystogastrostomy using LAMS is an effective minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts causing obstruction.
  • This endoscopic approach can relieve symptoms and avoid surgical intervention.
  • Successful management highlights the role of advanced endoscopy in treating complex pancreatic fluid collections.
