- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoAbsceso pancreático secundario a pancreatitis aguda: actualización(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Arteaga Sarmiento, María Camila; Hugo Merino, Gabriel; 0104562632Background: Pancreatic and peripancreatic collections, with or without necrotic content, as well as abscesses, are known as local complications of severe acute pancreatitis, occurring within 20-40% of patients. It is usually associated with organ dysfunction and a high mortality rate. When the collection presents necrotic content and organ failure, and is over infected;, the mortality rate would be within 35.2%, meanwhile, mortality is at 19.8% in sterile necrosis plus organ failure. Worldwide, the incidence of acute pancreatitis ranges from 4.9 to 7.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In Latin America, the incidence of this pathology is 15.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Objective: To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and current treatment of pancreatic abscess resulting from the complication of acute pancreatitis. Methodology: A bibliographic review was performed by searching scientific articles in databases such as Cochrane, Medline, PubMed, and Elsevier from 2017 onwards. Conclusion: Pancreatic abscess is considered a rare pathology with variable clinical presentation, but it can lead to multiorgan failure and patient death without timely treatment.
