AI Article Synopsis
- Acute pancreatitis is a significant indicator in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), as about 19.2% of patients showed this symptom, often leading to diagnosis.
- Acute pancreatitis is linked to a higher risk of high-grade dysplasia (2.07 times more likely) and certain types of IPMNs, but it is less associated with invasive cancer (0.62 times less likely).
- After surgical resection, 9% of patients with a history of pancreatitis experienced recurrent episodes, compared to only 0.9% in those without prior pancreatitis.
Article Abstract
Background: Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon presentation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm; however, it is considered a worrisome feature in current guidelines and can be an indication for surgery. There is controversy regarding its association with malignancy, and there is little information regarding the recurrence of pancreatitis after surgical resection.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm at a single institution between January 1990 and December 2023. Patients with and without acute pancreatitis as part of the clinical presentation were compared.
Results: A total of 812 patients were reviewed. Of these, 156 patients (19.2%) had intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms associated with acute pancreatitis, and in 92% of them pancreatitis was the symptom leading to the diagnosis. Half of the patients had a single episode of pancreatitis (n = 77, 49.4%), and 42 (26.9%) had had 3 or more episodes before diagnosis. Acute pancreatitis was significantly associated with high-grade dysplasia (odds ratio 2.07) but had a lower likelihood of invasive cancer (odds ratio 0.62). It was also significantly associated with main duct and mixed duct-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (odds ratio 1.97) and intestinal epithelial subtype (odds ratio 2.28). Median follow-up for all patients was 61 months, and the likelihood of recurrent pancreatitis after surgical resection was 9% (14 patients), whereas pancreatitis after resection in patients without prior history occurred in only 0.9% (6 patients, P < .001).
Conclusions: Almost 1 in 5 patients undergoing resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm have a history of acute pancreatitis and are twice as likely to have high-grade dysplasia, supporting its categorization as a worrisome feature. Recurrence of pancreatitis after resection was 9%.

Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms represent one of the most feared vascular complications of chronic pancreatitis. Sectional imaging studies such as computed tomography represent the first-line diagnostic tool for this pathology, being found as an incidental finding in patients with risk factors. We report the case of a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm in a 55-year-old patient diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis.

Dyslipidemia in infants is a rare condition characterized by abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Early diagnosis poses a challenge due to nonspecific symptoms and lipid criteria differing from adults. Through two clinical cases of familial dyslipidemia (Type 1 Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Type 2b Combined Familial Hyperlipidemia), we highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in infants, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in care and early screening.

Purpose: We aimed to perform a Bayesian network meta-analysis to assess the comparative diagnostic performance of different imaging modalities in chronic pancreatitis(CP).
Methods: The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant publications until March 2024. All studies evaluating the head-to-head diagnostic performance of imaging modalities in CP were included.
