Overview
Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper digestive tract bleeding, it is hemorrhage to the pancreatic duct. A case report is about 56-years old man who was repeatedly hospitalized and suffered from melena and enterorrhagia during 3 years. Imaging studies did not clearly identified etiology of bleeding or source of hemorrhage was wrong identified. Finally, hemosuccus pancreaticus from collaterals of pseudoaneurysm after embolization was suspected because of repeating hemorrhage and embolization of a gastroduodenal artery in history. The interventional procedure was made in a the proximal part of the gastroduodenal artery with a good clinical response. This disease causes severe diagnostic and therapeutic problems, the unrecognized one can be fatal.
Key words:
enterorrhagia – hemosuccus pancreaticus – chronic pancreatitis – melena
