Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting with Acute Pancreatitis: A Rare Clinical Manifestation
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas associated with elevated pancreatic enzymes, mainly caused by gallstones and alcohol abuse. In this article, we report a rare case of an 82-year-old woman with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and acute pancreatitis. The patient presented with typical acute pancreatitis symptoms and AAA was diagnosed by further imaging. This study underlines the mechanical and inflammatory interactions between AAA and acute pancreatitis and highlights the potential for concurrent presentation, including aneurysm rupture or recurrent pancreatitis. It emphasises the importance of advanced imaging and multidisciplinary management in handling such cases. Further research is recommended to uncover pathophysiological interactions and optimise clinical outcomes for such comorbid conditions.
