Isolated Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is a rare vascular complication of Pancreatitis. Vascular complications associated with Pancreatitis are more commonly seen in peripancreatic vessels like Splenic, portal or mesenteric veins. We report a case of isolated IVC thrombosis in a patient with chronic pancreatitis on acute exacerbation. Awareness of this rare complication will help in early diagnosis & treatment as well as prevent further dreaded complication like pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUNDNon-traumatic Gallbladder (GB) perforation is a rare and severe complication of acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. This entity requires importance, because of associated high morbidity and mortality rates due to delay in diagnosis and treatment, since signs and symptoms of perforation do not differ significantly from those of uncomplicated cholecystitis. [1] We undertook the study to analyze patients diagnosed preoperatively as GB perforation with pericholecystic abscess or biloma formation on USG and confirmed at surgery.
