Abstract:
Severe acute pancreatitis is sometimes complicated by a syndrome of cerebral dysfunction, referred to as pancreatic encephalopathy. Demyelination is found in autopsy and considered as basic pathologic evidence in patients with pancreatic encephalopathy. Myelin basic protein detection in cerebrospinal fluid and blood, combined with magnetic resonance imaging scan might indicate the demyelinatic change. Further large-scale study on both pathogenesis and diagnosis of this disease is needed.
