ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose is to correlate computed tomographic findings classified according to the degree of disease severity(grading A-E) with clinical course of acute pancreatitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in a retrospective review of 42 patients with acute pancreatitis, computed tomographic scans were classifed according to the degree of disease severity, and were correlatd with the clinical course. RESULTS: Pancreatic abscesses were seen in 14.3% and occured in 35.7% of grade D and E patients. Three patients with abscess died. Fatty infiltration of the liver was noted in 16.7%, pleural effusion in 21.4%.. stones and thickened wall of the gallbladder were present in 7.1% and in 9.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that phlegmonous extrapancreatic spread on initial CT scan had a high predictive value of the patients, prognosis.
