AI Article Synopsis
- A patient with moderately severe acute pancreatitis and several serious complications was found to have multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
- The treatment included intravenous immune globulin, corticosteroids, antibiotics, systemic anticoagulation, and drainage of fluid, which resulted in a good response.
- This case underscores the diverse symptoms of MIS-C and the need for healthcare providers to be vigilant about rare and severe cases that don't improve with standard treatments.
Article Abstract
We report a case of moderately severe acute pancreatitis, hyperglycemia, acidosis, splenic, superior mesenteric, and portal vein thrombosis in relation to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The patient responded well to intravenous immune globulin, corticosteroids, antibiotics, systemic anticoagulation, and drainage of peripancreatic fluid. The case highlights the polymorphic presentation of MIS-C and advises high level of suspicion for unusual, severe cases unresponsive to routine care.

IgG-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an under recognised multisystem inflammatory disorder that has several typical manifestations. Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD are well documented however do not feature in the definition or diagnosis of IgG4-RD according to a recent consensus statement. The most well recognised cardiac manifestation of IgG4-RD, pericardial disease, is outlined in this case report as the initial presenting pathology.

There is a new awareness of the widespread nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its connection to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This has catalyzed collaboration between cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to address the need for earlier identification of those with MASLD who are at increased risk for CVD. The overlap in the pathophysiologic processes and parallel prevalence of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD highlight the multisystem consequences of poor cardiovascular-liver-metabolic health.
