[Acute pancreatitis: our experience in the light of natural history].
The Authors enumerate main steps of acute pancreatitis natural history. Then they discuss their last five years case-report. After having stated that clinical presentation depends on anatomo-pathological conditions, they consider aetiological causes and morphopathogenetic moments involved in the onset and development of this disease. They conclude stating how only proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent its potential evolution in multiorgan failure.
