CT Evaluation of Acute Pancreatitis and its Prognostic Correlation with CT Severity Index
Preferred locations of fluid collections are: Am J Gastroenterol ; Balthazar grading in patients with acute pancreatitis: Consequently it is sometimes better to describe these as ‘indeterminate peripancreatic clsaificacion. A poor clasificackon among the results of the different scales was documented. In the early stage, such a collection does not have a wall or capsule. J Clin Diagn Res. The possible explanation for this is the large number of patients having mild pancreatitis in their study group.
Modified CT scoring system correctly predicted the outcome in all the patients who had a shift in their severity grades than Balthazar CTSI.
Time Within 4 weeks: Radiology abstract – Pubmed citation. Prognostic value of CT in the early assessment of patients with acute pancreatitis.

The tomographic evaluation was performed by Mexico’s General Hospital radiologists and was reported according to the A and E degree of the tomographic Balthazar criteria. There is a homogeneous well-demarcated peripancreatic collection in the lesser sac, which abuts the stomach and the pancreas. Contrast enhanced Computed Tomography is excellent diagnostic modality to stage the severity of inflammatory process, detect the pancreatic necrosis and depict local complications and grading of severity of acute pancreatitis.
The patient became septic and a percutaneous drainage was performed. CT can not reliably differentiate between collections that consist of fluid only and those that contain solid necrotic debris.
CT Evaluation of Acute Pancreatitis and its Prognostic Correlation with CT Severity Index
Most severe local complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Remarkably, a CT performed 6 months after surgery showed a normal pancreas. This explains why many of these collections harbor solid necrotic debris. Rarely only the pancreatic parenchyma. The CT severity index CTSI combines the Balthazar grade points with the extent of pancreatic necrosis points on a clasificaciob severity scale.
Pancreas – Acute Pancreatitis 2.0
This was fairly similar to the study conducted by Irshad Ahmad Banday et al. Scores obtained with the modified Mortele index, show a stronger statistical correlation for all clinical outcome parameters in all balthqzar patients better than the Balthazar index.
Exclusion Criteria Patients with chronic pancreatitis suggested by intraductal calculi, ductal stricture and parenchymal calcification. Diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis requires two of the following three features: Route can be used to guide minimally invasive surgery. Majority of the cases were categorized as mild pancreatitis according revised Atlanta classification.
Atlanta Classification bapthazar Fluid Collections The Revised Atlanta Classification discerns 4 types of peripancreatic fluid collections in acute pancreatitis depending on the content, degree of encapsulation and time.
Open in a separate window.
The correlation coefficients for the C,asificacion scale were: The first CT underestimated the severity of the pancreatitis. Many of these patients however will have necrotizing pancreatitis and the mortality increases when the necrosis becomes infected. Many collections will remain sterile or resorb spontaneously. To assess the prognostic correlation of patient outcome with currently accepted Balthazar and the Modified Mortele Computed Tomography severity indices in acute pancreatitis.
The characteristics of the patients that were included on the study are shown on table Claaificacion. Of this 65 patients, 28 fulfilled the criteria of inclusion, the rest of the patients were excluded because either they had slight pancreatitis, didn’t count with tomographic evaluation or were monitored on external consult. As it is pointed in some studies, the APACHE-II scale at the moment of admission is not to be trusted to neither diagnose pancreatic necrosis nor severe pancreatitis The presence and extent of necrosis in each case was classified into four categories and awarded points from as follows:.
True pseudocysts are uncommon, since most acute peripancreatic fluid balhhazar resolve within 4 weeks. Length of hospital stay. A T2-weighted MRI sequence shows that the collection has a low signal intensity arrow.
The Sperman coefficients of correlation were calculated in order to associate the different scales.
Indications for intervention of evolving peripancreatic collections should be based on full evaluation of clinical, lab, and imaging No role for drainage in early collections Can be used as a guide for surgical approach.
Identification of pancreas necrosis in severe acute pancreatitis: Gall stone disease was most common balghazar factor seen; it was more common in females than males. Here we see a homogeneous pancreatic and peripancreatic collection, well demarcated with an enhancing wall, on day 25 of an episode of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
The CT shows an acute necrotizing pancreatitis. The change in severity scoring was seen mainly due to the presence of balthaza complication. No contamination with intestinal flora.
