title: [Duodenal obstruction: unusual complication of acute pancreatitis].
abstract: The authors notice that, though the duodenal involvement in patients with acute pancreatitis is very common, the duodenal obstruction is quite exceptional and the reported cases are very few. The Authors describe; then, the case of a patient with duodenal obstruction caused by a peri-duodenal phlegmon due to an acute pancreatitis treated with a gastro-jejunostomy and a drainage of the abscess.
