Abstract:

The standards of the clinical diagnosis are: epigastric sudden severe pain, pyrexia, vomiting, especially non- remission of pain after vomiting with or without pancreatic pain. The paraclinical: blood amylase must be higher 4 times than normal level; abdominal ultrasound had image of the pancreatic edema and image of ascaris in the pancrea -bile duct (29.44%). If the ascuris is not a cause of the acute pancreatitis, the stress can be a cause of the migration of ascris.
