RELACIÓN DE COMPLICACIONES LOCALES EN PANCREATITIS AGUDA CON LA PERSISTENCIA DE LAS COMPLICACIONES SISTÉMICAS
2009
Antecedentes De acuerdo con la clasificacion de Atlanta, la pancreatitis aguda grave se define por la presencia de complicaciones locales (CL) y/o sistemicas (CS). Recientemente se ha sugerido que aquellos pacientes con complicaciones sistemicas de inicio (CSI) que aparecen en la primera semana, pero duran menos de 48 horas, no deberian considerarse como indicadores de gravedad. Objetivo Analizar la evolucion y aparicion de complicaciones locales en pacientes con Pancreatitis Aguda (PA) en funcion de la presencia o no de CSI transitorias o permanentes. Metodos Se han recogido prospectiva y consecutivamente todos los pacientes con un primer episodio de PA entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2…
Caustic ingestion: development and validation of a prognostic score
2020
Abstract Background Caustic ingestion is a potentially severe condition and early identification of poor outcome is essential to improve management; however, prediction based on endoscopy alone can overestimate severity. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic score. Methods A prospective cohort study was designed to include all consecutive patients aged > 15 years who presented with caustic ingestion between 1995 and 2017. Adverse outcome was defined by intensive care unit admission, urgent surgery, or death. The predictive value of clinical, analytical, and endoscopic variables was assessed in the first cohort (derivation cohort) and a prognostic score based on the result…
Methotrexate induced sprue-like syndrome
2008
A 52 year-old male patient diagnosed of ankylosing spondylitis presented with an iron deficiency anemia after a ten-month treatment of methotrexate. He did not respond to treatment with oral iron not a proton pump inhibitor and an upper endoscopy was performed. The histological study of the duodenal biopsies showed villus atrophy. After removing the methotrexate, administrating intramuscular iron and undertaking a gluten-free diet, the histological and analytical alterations progressively resolved.
Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome: complete pancreas transection secondary to acute pancreatitis
2016
Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome is a serious complication of acute pancreatitis which is defined by a complete discontinuity of the pancreatic duct, such that a viable side of the pancreas remains isolated from the gastrointestinal tract. This pancreatic disruption is infrequently observed in the clinical practice and its diagnostic and therapeutic management are controversial. We present an extreme case of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome with complete duct disruption and pancreatic transection following acute pancreatitis, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic processes carried out.
