Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe manifestation of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and it is associated with weight loss and metabolic abnormalities. It is known that abnormal laboratory values, including mildly elevated serum lipase level, could be associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. However,
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder of the epithelial CFTR apical chloride channel resulting in multi-organ manifestations, including pancreatic exocrine secretion. In the pancreas, CFTR abnormality results in abnormally viscous secretions that obstruct proximal ducts leading to Nephrotic syndrome is sometimes refractory; however, it is rarely accompanied by acute pancreatitis. A 47-year-old Japanese woman complaining of limb edema was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Blood and urine examinations suggested minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), and pulse intravenous
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, with multisystemic involvement. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common, like nausea, vomiting and dyspepsia. Acute pancreatitis is an unusual manifestation of SLE, being an important differential diagnosis in evaluation of abdominal pain.
A 43-year-old woman with a medical history significant only for hepatitis B carrier status presented to an emergency department with generalized weakness, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea 36 h after eating an estimated 170 g of sautéed Lepiota subincarnata J.E. Lange (basionym Lepiota josserandii).
We present a case of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy, associated with hyperlipidemia. The patient, 23 years old in 36 g. w., was hospitalized at the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology with nausea, multiple vomitting, persistent abdominal pain and febrility. Because of the clinical apperance of
BACKGROUND
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a rare but increasingly recognised condition with unique clinical, immunological and histological features. We report the first case of autoimmune pancreatitis associated with spontaneous splenic haemorrhage.
METHODS
A 75-year-old man presented with severe
Hydatid acute pancreatitis is a rare condition and always presents as consequence of acute edematous pancreatitis. Intrabiliary rupture of hepatic hydatid cysts and obstruction of papillary orifice with hydatid membrane is possible mechanism. A 49-year-old man was admitted with epigastric and right
Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is an extremely rare form of extranodal malignant lymphoma. The most common histological subtype of PPL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Clinical and imaging features of PPL may often overlap with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Therefore, it is very important
We describe two cases of increased pancreatic enzyme levels after intragastric balloon (IGB) placement possibly related to extrinsic pancreatic duct compression, followed by a short review of the literature. Case 1 is the first, to our knowledge, of a patient with asymptomatic increase of pancreatic

Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is a rare event, and can be associated with high maternal mortality and fetal loss. Gallstone disease is thought to be the most common causative factor of acute pancreatitis, but, in many cases, the cause remains unclear. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman at
We describe an interesting case of intramural duodenal hematoma in an otherwise healthy male who presented to emergency room with gradually progressive abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. This condition was missed on initial evaluation and patient was discharged from emergency room with diagnosis
BACKGROUND
Although parenteral nutrition (PN) has been the standard nutrition therapy in patients with pancreatitis requiring nutrition support, it is associated with a higher rate of catheter-related sepsis and gut atrophy. Research suggests enteral nutrition (EN) is possible in patients with
