Groove pancreatitis presenting as recurrent acute pancreatitis

Acute Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer Risk: A Nationwide Matched-Cohort Study in Denmark

“…Fifth, we restricted to patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis, defined as 2 or more hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis, each at least 90 days from discharge until the next admission. 17 We followed these patients from the date of their second acute pancreatitis admission to avoid immortal time bias 18 and adjusted the follow-up start for their matched comparison subjects to the same date. Sixth, we examined the association between acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer beyond 5 years of follow-up according to the acute pancreatitis etiology.…”

Spontaneous Resolution of Hemorrhagic Pseudocyst-Associated Pseudoaneurysm in Groove Pancreatitis

“…Thus, it was expected that stent insertion in the pancreatic duct through the papilla could facilitate the flow of pancreatic juice to drain from the duct. Endoscopic treatment including sphincterotomy with a plastic stent of 5-7 Fr in diameter in the pancreatic duct can be considered a therapy of choice [4,7]. The pancreatic stent was inserted (7 Fr, 7 cm) and changed to prevent obstruction of the duct by 3 months.…”

“…Recurrent pancreatitis is defined as a separate attack 3 months after acute pancreatitis with complete resolution [7]. Relapsed pancreatitis is said to be a re-attack within 3 months, which has been suggested to be associated with complications of first attack before complete healing [7]. Herein, we report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with HP and pseudocyst-associated pseudoaneurysms in groove pancreatitis and was treated conservatively without angiography with embolization.…”

“…These findings emphasize the role of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) before angiography. Angiography as an initial approach in HP may need to be more selective depending on the presentation of the patient in light of previous findings [5][6][7].…”

“…Recurrent pancreatitis is related with pseudocyst, chronic pancreatitis, and stricture of the pancreatic duct. Recurrent pancreatitis is defined as a separate attack 3 months after acute pancreatitis with complete resolution [7]. Relapsed pancreatitis is said to be a re-attack within 3 months, which has been suggested to be associated with complications of first attack before complete healing [7].…”
