Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Abdominal CT showed peripancreatic fat infiltration and the collection of fluid around the pancreas.

• 

  Fig. 2. (A) Abdominal CT showed fluid collection surrounded by enhanced wall, suggesting psuedocyst. (B) Endoscopic retrograde pancreatogra-phy showed pancreas duct leakage (white arrowhead) at the pancreas tail.

• 

  Fig. 3. (A) Abdominal CT showed the dilatation of transverse colon with fecal material inside. (B) Colonoscopy showed edematous and inflammatory change at the strictured portion of the splenic flexure.
