Abstract
- Prevalence of splenic infarction developed during acute pancreatitis is extremely rare. However, we recently experienced a case of 42-year-old woman who developed splenic infarction during acute alcoholic pancreatitis. There were sustained subjective symptoms and no resolution of image despite of conservative management, so we performed angiography to confirm whether vascular lesion existed or not. We found the significant celiac artery stenosis due to compression by median arcuate ligament and no visible thrombus. We report an unusual case of splenic infarction developed during acute recurrent pancreatitis possibly related with celiac artery stenosis.
