Özet
Acute pancreatitis is acute inflammation of pancreatic cells that may presents with non-specific findings such as abdominal pain and vomiting. Haemorrhage is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis, while complications such as pseudocyst, abscess, necrosis may also occur. Here, we present a case of 39-years-old male patient with intraabdominal bleeding due to idiopathic acute pancreatitis. Patient presented to emergency department with abdominal pain and lack of appetite; as a result of history, findings and investigations acute pancreatitis were considered. Oral feeding was stopped and nutritional support was given by vascular access and pain control was achieved. Due to decrease in hemoglobin and hemotacrit level diagnostic laparoscopy were performed. On exploration fragile and hemorrhagic pancreas was observed. Bleeding control was achieved; after symptomatic treatment abdominal pain regressed. Laboratory findings were completely recovered and patient was discharged. As a result; should also be noted that the rare complications of acute pancreatitis, such as hemorrhage,can be seen, so considering the patient's symptoms can mislead us further investigations should be made. © 2018, Duzce University Medical School.
