He was started on IV antibiotics and underwent a CT-guided drainage of the abscess with drain placement.

Nevertheless, taking into consideration that most pancreatic head resections are performed for malignant disease with poor prognosis, long term pancreatico-jejunal anastomotic durability has not been well examined; similarly, the management of its stenosis has not been well assessed [1].
Case: Here we present a case of a 69 years old male patient with history of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and ampullary fibrosis managed by pancreatico-duodenectomy presenting for 10 years delayed onset of recurrent acute pancreatitis with signs of pancreatico-jejunal anastomotic stenosis, managed surgically with revision of pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis.
Combined injuries of the glenohumeral joint that involve biceps tendon subluxation associated with isolated greater tuberosity fracture and bony Bankart lesion are extremely rare. As per our knowledge, this is the first case report that includes such combined injuries that were treated arthroscopically. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient who sustained shoulder trauma after being thrown against the rocks by a wave, was found to have biceps tendon subluxation associated with isolated greater tuberosity fracture and bony Bankart lesion.
