Intrahepatic hemorrhage and subcapsular hematoma developing in acute pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis with hemorrhagic complication is a rarely reported situation. It is always devastating and possibly fatal if massive bleeding occurs. We report a case of acute pancreatitis associated with renal failure who developed intrahepatic hemorrhage and subcapsular hematoma. Bleeding was successfully controlled by emergent embolization via proper hepatic artery. The patient recovered uneventfully later.
