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.
胰管出血是上消化道 (GI) 出血的罕见原因,常带来重大的诊断和治疗挑战。在此我们报告一例急性胰腺炎患者发生胰管出血,在上消化道内镜和内镜逆行胰胆管造影 (ERCP) 检查中发现,经介入放射学采用胃十二指肠动脉 (GDA) 栓塞术成功治疗。早期识别该病症对避免未经治疗病例出现致命结局至关重要。
