COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS
1.
2. THINKING OF COMPLICATIONS ?
Can we think of life without complications in today’s
life?
So let us see how Acute Pancreatitis can make the
whole thing complicated
3. COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE
PANCREATITIS:
WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON
PSEUDOCYST AND ACUTE
PANCREATIC NECROSIS
PREPARED BY: DR. DIPANJAN MANDAL
MALDA MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL
5. ACUTE FLUID COLLECTIONS
30-50% cases
Content: inflammatory exudates and/or enzyme-rich
pancreatic secretions
Routes of extension:
Diagnosis: CECT/MRI/EUS
Management: wait & watch
• Into lesser sac
• Behind the pancreatic head
• Behind the lt & rt colons on the
psoas muscle
• Into the small bowel mesentry
& buldging through the
transverse mesocolon
6. POSTNECROTIC PANCREATIC &PERIPANCREATIC
FLUID COLLECTION
Contain both solid & fluid components
Arise from liquefaction of solid necrosis and/or
pancreatic duct disruption
Mature lesion has a wall without an epithelial lining
around the collection- “walled off necrosis” (WON)
Diagnosis:
Management: same as that for pancreatic necrosis
CECT, MRI, EUS
CECT- Extraluminal gas
Image guided FNA for Gram’s
stain
& culture [Definitive diagnosis]
8. PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST
A fluid collection contained within a well-defined capsule.
Present for > 4 weeks after disease onset
Doesn’t possess an epithelial lining
May develop in the context of
Acute pancreatitis(10-15% of cases),
Chronic pancreatitis(20-40% of cases) or
trauma
9. Location:
• Lesser sac in proximity to the pancreas
• Large pseudocysts can extend into the
Paracolic gutters,
Pelvis,
Scrotum,
Mediastinum or
Thorax
10. Composition:
• Thick fibrous capsule – not a true epithelial lining
• Pseudocyst fluid: similar electrolyte conc. to that of plasma
high conc. of amylase, lipase & enterokinases such as
trypsin
• Relatively clear watery fluid
• Hemorrhage- may contain clot-become xanthochromic
• Infection-pus
11. PATHOGENESIS & CLASSIFICATION
Pancreatic ductal disruption sec. to
1. Acute pancreatitis- Necrosis
2. Chronic pancreatitis- Elevated pancreatic duct
pressures from strictures or ductal calculi
3. Trauma
12. PATHOGENESIS
Acute pancreatitis: Pancreatic necrosis
Ductular disruption
Leakage of enzyme-rich
secretion from inflammed
area of gland
Accumulation in space
adjacent to pancreas
Inflammatory response
induces formation of
distinct cyst wall composed
of granulation tissue,
organizes with connective
tissue & fibrosis

14. PRESENTATION
o Symptoms
1. Persistent abdominal
pain >3 weeks(80-
90%)
2. Nausea/vomiting
3. Early satiety
4. Bloating, indigestion
5. Anorexia, weight loss
6. Abdominal mass
Signs
1. Tenderness
2. Abdominal fullness
15. COMPLICATIONS (~ 10% CASES)
Process 0utcomes
1.Infection(25% cases) Abscess
Systemic sepsis
2.Rupture
Into the gut Gastrointestinal bleeding
Internal fistula
Into the peritoneum Peritonitis
3. Enlargement
pressure effects Obstructive jaundice from biliary
compression
Bowel obstruction
pain
4. Erosion into a vessel Hemorrhage into the cyst
Haemoperitoneum
16. DIAGNOSIS
Suspect a pseudocyst
Acute pancreatitis fails to recover after a week of
Rx
After initial improvement, symptoms return
Amylase levels persistently high
Persistent abdominal pain
Epigastric mass palpated after pancreatitis
17. DIAGNOSIS
Clinical features: epigastric discomfort or
pain,anorexia, early satiety, nausea, mild fever, back
pain & a palpable mass.
Labs: persistently elevated serum amylase (>5000U/mL)
Plain X-ray: not very useful
Ultrasound: 75-90% sensitive
Advantage:
1) better able to determine the
extent of solid tissue within a fluid
collection
2) often used to guide FNA
Disadvantage: limited by
operator skill, patient’s
habitus, overlying bowel
gas
18. CECT:
• Most accurate (sensitivity 90-100%)
• Advantages are many
Triphasic helical CT: delineate the regional
arteries & veins
MRI: outlines the solid component of the lesions
ERCP: both diagnostic & therapeutic role
MRCP: noninvasive
similar diagnostic accuracy to ERCP.
19. MANAGEMENT
Two principal indications for treating pseudocysts
General features of a pseudocyst imp in considering the
most appropriate Rx
Thickness of the pseudocyst wall
Location
Contents
Number
Etiology
Main pancreatic duct anatomy & degree of disruption
To relieve symptoms
To treat complications
22. DRAINAGE V/S RESECTION
Drainage procedures are preferred
• Preserve pancreatic function
• Technically easier
• Lower mortality rate
• Complications & mortality rates of int drainage is ½
of ext drainage
23. CYSTOGASTROSTOMY
Ideal when pseudocyst adherent to post stomach &
indenting it
Disadvantage: not a dependent stoma, may act as
sump when pseudocyst is large can accumulate
gastric debris

27. PANCREATIC NECROSIS
Approx 20% of pts with acute pancreatitis
25-70% develop infected necrosis
Risk higher when involvement is more extensive(>30% of
the gland) & with time( 24% by end of 1st wk; 36% by end
of 2nd wk;71% beyond of 3rd wk)
Clinical features: same as that of acute pancreatitis
30. FATE
<1cm : resolve spontaneously.
2-4 cm :demarcated by macrophages that slowly
phagocytose the necrotic material; inner content of
foci become liquified
>5cm :macrophages rich in hemosiderin+ other
immune cells form a thin layer of granulation tissue
by 10-20 days of disease onset, after 20-30 days
become a fibrous capsule increasing in thickness .
Necrotic areas slowly resolved& replaced by fibrotic
scar tissue (necrosis-fibrosis sequence)
31. MICROBIOLOGY
Routes of entry
1. Hematogenous
2. Transpapillary reflux of duodenal content into pancreatic
duct
3. Translocation of intestinal bacteria & toxins via
mesenteric lymphatics to systemic circulation via
thoracic duct
4. Reflux of bacteriobilia via a distrupted pancreatic duct
into necrotic parenchyma
5. Transperitoneal spread
33. DIAGNOSIS
Ranson, Glascow, APACHE ,BISAP used for severity
stratification
CECT:
a. Gold standard
b. Disadvantage: contrast used might worsen necrosis
and/or exacerbate existing renal failure
c. Useful to grade the severity by CTSI
MRI
EEU
Prognostic markers:
a) CRP: 85% accurate; requires 3-4 days to reach a
diagnostic level; threshold value>120 mg/dl
35. Image guided( CT or ultrasound) FNA : Indications
a. >30% necrosis+ persistent symptoms
b. Smaller areas of necrosis+ clinical suspicion of
infected necrosis
36. INDICATIONS OF INTERVENTIONS
1) Infected necrosis, confirmed by culture +ve FNA
2) Persistent sepsis from infected necrosis
3) Failure of attempted radiological drainage
4) Massive hemorrhage or bowel perforation
5) Pts with sterile necrosis, those clinically
deteriorating & who have a clear target lesion.
37. EARLY SURGERY V/S LATE INTERVENTION
Early surgery : more difficult & dangerous —significant
risk of bleeding
There may be infection of sterile necrosis
Current concept: intervention
should be as late as possible after
disease onset( preferably >4 wks)
because necrosis has stopped
extending, clear demarcation b/w
viable & non-viable tissues, infected
necrotic tissues have become
organized & “walled-off”
39. Factors to determine the type of intervention:
1. Anatomical location
2. Infection status
3. Complexity of target lesion(s)
4. Physiological status
5. Comorbidity of an individual patient
6. Availbility of expertise with the type of intervention
40. PRINCIPLES FOR INTERVENTION
Removal of all infected & necrotic tissue and fluid
Preservation of vital tissues
Avoidance of intraoperative hemorrhage
41. OPEN AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES TO THE
TREATMENT OF PANCREATIC NECROSIS
