Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis Complicated with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria: A Case Report.

This report presents a unique case of acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP) concomitant with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH), a combination that has not been documented in existing literature. The impact of PNH on ANP and its treatment remains uncertain due to the lack of consensus. The case described herein involves a patient who exhibited both ANP and PNH, subsequently experiencing splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), resulting in substantial intra-abdominal and gastrointestinal hemorrhaging. We attempted to analyze the role of PNH in the formation of SVT in ANP and propose some new insights and hypotheses for the treatment of such patients.
