ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis develops into mild acute, moderately severe, and severe forms in multiple clinical scenarios. The severity assessment of pancreatitis relies on various scoring systems, including CT Severity Index (CTSI), Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II), Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP), Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), Multiple Organ System Score (MOSS), Glasgow score, and Ranson's Criteria (RC). This case report corresponds to a 20-year-old male with acute pancreatitis of unknown etiology. The RC scoring method produced two points, which could not prognosticate the possible severity of acute pancreatitis in the young patient. The hospital course included intubation with mechanical ventilation and ICU management.
