Abstract

Diagnosis and treatment of recurrent
acute pancreatitis remains a complex issue in clinical practice. Repeated
episodes of pancreatitis are usually seen in a gland with a normal morphology
during diagnosis, so it is believed that such a clinical entity is
characterized by recurrent episodes of pancreatitis in the normal pancreas. The
evaluation of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis requires systematic
identification or removal of correctable factors. In this study, we aimed to
present a case of acute pancreatitis with six attacks in the light of the
literature.

Abstract

Rekürren akut
pankreatit, klinik uygulamada hala kompleks bir tanı ve tedavi olarak karşımıza
çıkmaktadır. Pankreatitte tekrarlayan ataklar çoğunlukla teşhis sırasında
normal bir morfoloji gösteren bir bezde görülür, bu yüzden böylesi bir klinik
varlığın normal pankreasta tekrarlanan pankreatit ataklarıyla karakterize
olduğuna inanılır. Rekürren akut pankreatitli hastaların değerlendirilmesi,
düzeltilebilir faktörlerinin sistematik tanımlanması veya ortadan
kaldırılmasını gerektirir. Bu çalışmada, altı kez atak ile başvuran akut
pankreatit olgusunu literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.
