The pancreas is swelled particularly at the body portion accompanied by peripancreatic fluid accumulation and fat stranding.
Case Discussion
The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was confirmed biochemically with markedly elevated lipase. CT scan has a critical role in confirming the clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and evaluates its possible complications such as necrosis, hemorrhage, infection, or vascular complications (such as a pseudoaneurysm) and intra- or peri-pancreatic collections.
