Abstract

Özet
Giriş: Akut pankreatit, başlıca safra taşı ve alkol kötüye kullanımının neden olduğu, pankreas enzimlerinin yükselmesiyle ilişkili pankreasın enflamatuar bir durumudur.
Olgu sunumu: Bu makalede, abdominal aort anevrizması (AAA) ve akut pankreatitin bir arada görüldüğü 82 yaşında nadir bir kadın olgu sunulmuştur. Tipik akut pankreatit semptomları gösteren hastaya ileri görüntüleme ile AAA tanısı konuldu.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, AAA ve AP arasındaki mekanik ve enflamatuar etkileşimlerin altını çizmekte ve anevrizma rüptürü veya tekrarlayan pankreatit dahil olmak üzere eşzamanlı presentasyon potansiyelini vurgulamaktadır. Bu tür vakaların ele alınmasında ileri görüntüleme ve multidisipliner yönetimin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Patofizyolojik etkileşimleri ortaya çıkarmak ve bu tür komorbid durumlar için klinik sonuçları optimize etmek için daha fazla araştırma yapılması önerilmektedir.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting with Acute Pancreatitis: A Rare Clinical Manifestation

Abstract

Summary
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas associated with elevated pancreatic enzymes, mainly caused by gallstones and alcohol abuse.
Case report: In this article, we report a rare case of an 82-year-old woman with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and acute pancreatitis. The patient presented with typical acute pancreatitis symptoms and AAA was diagnosed by further imaging.
Conclusion: This study underlines the mechanical and inflammatory interactions between AAA and acute pancreatitis and highlights the potential for concurrent presentation, including aneurysm rupture or recurrent pancreatitis. It emphasises the importance of advanced imaging and multidisciplinary management in handling such cases. Further research is recommended to uncover pathophysiological interactions and optimise clinical outcomes for such comorbid conditions.
