Abstract We present the case of a 65-year-old man with a pancreatic nonfunctioning neuroendocrine tumor causing main pancreatic duct obstruction that presented as excessive hyperglycemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Similar to our case, 17 of 20 patients presenting with AOSPD had a history significant for chronic pancreatitis. Of the 20 patients, 10 had a prior pancreatic procedure within 1 month of presentation.[acgcasereports.gi.org]
If liver disease is present, both procedures can be used to uncover and treat damage resulting from poor liver function, such as bleeding due to portal vein hypertension.[cpmc.org]
We present the case of a 66-year old woman who presented to our emergency department with severe upper abdominal pain and vomiting.[saudisurgj.org]
Upper AbdominalPain In Pancreatic Cancer : Abdominalpain is a common symptom. It often radiates to the middle or upper back and worsens after eating or when lying down. Upper abdominalpain commonly occurs with advanced pancreatic cancer.[columbiasurgery.org]
Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis include abdominalpain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, and diabetes. Abdominalpain is the most common presenting symptom. The abdominalpain is typically epigastric and radiates to the back.[pancreapedia.org]
It may also be used to rule out other conditions that can cause abdominalpain.[nyulangone.org]
Pancreatitis Pancreatic duct blockages can lead to pancreatitis, an inflammatory process that can cause severe abdominalpain, vomiting, and diarrhea.[hopkinscf.org]
Case Report A 66 year old female patient presented to the emergency department with severe abdominalpain and vomiting.[saudisurgj.org]
However, the frequency of SAP remains stable over time. Biliary calculi and alcohol abuse are the most common causes of AP. Other causes such as iatrogenic factors, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) and eating disorders also cannot be omitted.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
And one day, I was pulling some garden hose over our wood deck, and I noticed the sound was eerily like the radiation machine as it would move into position.”[pancreatica.org]
Severe pancreatitis, especially if it is not diagnosed and treated quickly, can lead to inflammation all over the body, called systemic inflammatory response syndrome.[nyulangone.org]
As the pancreas begins to scar and more than 90% of the tissue is destroyed over time (often over many years) patients develop fatty stools and fat malabsorption because they do not produce enough digestive enzymes; and diabetes due to loss of insulin[pancreapedia.org]
Bile backing up into the pancreatic duct may initiate pancreatitis. [9] The pancreatic duct is generally regarded as abnormally enlarged if being over 3 mm in the head and 2 mm in the body or tail. [10] Pancreatic ductal carcinoma is a common form of[en.wikipedia.org]
Dark urine and light or clay-coloredstools can also be associated with jaundice. Jaundice occurs when bilirubin, a component of bile, builds up in your blood.[columbiasurgery.org]
However, it is often neglected in follow up. This study was to review the outcomes of pancreatic duct obstruction and explore the prevention of pancreatic duct obstruction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Endoscopic dilatation is one of the treatment options for stenosis of pancreaticogastrostomy (PG). However, the failure of endoscopic dilatation necessitates surgical approaches.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Two months previously, he had suffered an attack of acute pancreatitis that was resolved with conservative treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and nasobiliary drainage, which target the cause of AP, may prevent the transformation from AP to SAP and this may be adopted as an essential treatment strategy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Armed with the extra confidence, Dale decided to proceed with the recommended treatment, consisting of a bookended three days of 5-FU, surrounding 25 days of radiation. Treatment is a surreal time in some ways.[pancreatica.org]

But not the difficult prognosis. But she feels sure that Dale knew, even if he doesn’t now recall. He went straight to the Internet, began reading voraciously, and grew visibly depressed. She finally had to tell him to just stop reading.[pancreatica.org]
Outlook (Prognosis) If the blockage is not corrected, it can lead to life-threatening infection and a dangerous buildup of bilirubin. If the blockage lasts a long time, chronic liver disease can result.[stlukes-stl.com]

Prevention Be aware of any risk factors you have, so that you can get prompt diagnosis and treatment if a bile duct becomes blocked. The blockage itself may not be preventable. References Anstee QM, Jones DEJ. Liver and biliary tract disease.[stlukes-stl.com]
Causes a blockage of the pancreatic duct and can prevent pancreatic enzymes from reaching the duodenum where they normally do their work.[quizlet.com]
