Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intramural duodenal hematoma (IDH) is a rare complication of pancreatitis. We report a unique case of IDH caused by acute gallstone pancreatitis in a 37-year-old man. The patient presented with hematemesis and sudden exacerbation of upper abdominal pancreatic pain. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed an intramural hyperdense hematoma and symmetric thickening of the duodenal wall along with peripancreatic inflammation and gallbladder stones. A duodenoscopy also revealed a bloody edematous duodenal wall with a narrow lumen due to IDH. The patient recovered fully from the acute pancreatitis and IDH without pancreaticoduodenectomy using conservative management and a subsequent cholecystectomy.
