We present a case of 36-year male patient who was referred to the Civil Hospital, Karachi with intermittent abdominal pain and vomiting for the last 2 years. The contrast enhanced CTexamination revealed changes of acute pancreatitis, CTSI 4/10, pancreatic calcifications along with 22x17 mm partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm of gastroduodenal artery. The aberrant right hepatic artery was incidentally seen, on the arterial phase acquisition, arising directly from abdominal aorta. Gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis. It can lead to hematemesis, and it can bleed massively into peritoneal cavity. The aberrant origin of right hepatic artery from the aorta is extremely rare. To the best of authors' knowledge, less than five cases have been reported previously in literature.
我们报告一例36岁男性患者,该患者因过去两年间歇性腹痛和呕吐被转诊至卡拉奇市民医院。增强CT检查显示急性胰腺炎改变,CTSI为4/10,胰腺钙化,同时伴有胃十二指肠动脉22x17mm部分血栓形成的假性动脉瘤。在动脉期扫描时偶然发现异常的右肝动脉直接发自腹主动脉。胃十二指肠动脉假性动脉瘤是急性胰腺炎的一种罕见并发症。它可导致呕血,并可大量出血至腹腔。右肝动脉起源于主动脉异常极为罕见。据作者所知,此前文献报道的病例不足五例。
