Abstract:
Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical features of peripancreatic vascular abnormalities in patients with pancreatitis.Methods The clinical data of 102 pancreatitis patients between January 2013 to December 2014 in the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command who underwent contrast enhanced CT or contrast enhanced MRI scans were retrospectively analyzed.The radiological features of peripancreatic vascular abnormalities in such patients were examined, and the clinical features of pancreatitis patients with or without peripancreatic vascular abnormalities were investigated.Results Peripancreatic vascular abnormalities were found in 18 patients(17.6%), and vascular abnormalities were relatively common in portal vessels.No significant differences were observed on the age at onset, gender ratio, smoking status, alcohol consumption and length of stay between patients with and without peripancreatic vascular abnormalities.Compared with those without peripancreatic vascular abnormalities, patients with peripancreatic vascular abnormalities had a significantly higher incidence of peripancreatic fluid collection, pancreatic pseudocyst and gastric varices, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusions Peripancreatic vascular abnormalities can be complicated with pancreatitis.Enhanced CT or enhanced MRI were valuable in the diagnosis.Pancreatic pseudocyst, peripancreatic fluid collection and gastric varices were more common in pancreatitis complicated with peripancreatic vascular abnormalities.
