Diagnosis: Acute necrotizing pancreatitis

Average Case-Specific Score: 3.97 / 6

Answer Key

Sample Preliminary Report

Acute necrotizing pancreatitis with area of necrosis in the pancreatic body comprising approximately 10% of the pancreatic tissue volume. Acute necrotic collections measuring 5 x 4.5 cm along the inferior margin of the pancreatic body and 6 x 4 cm in the lesser sac and gastrosplenic ligament.

Small volume abdominopelvic ascites. Small bilateral pleural effusions.

High density material in the gallbladder may represent small gallstones and/or concentrated vicarious excretion of previously administered contrast material. No evidence of acute cholecystitis.

cdwilson 4

Acute pancreatitis without evidence of complication. There is stranding and fluid along the pancreas with inflammatory changes along the adjacent bowel. Stranding and edema in the gallbladder fossa are favored reactive rather than related to cholecystitis. Narrowing of the splenic artery without evidence of high grde obstruction or pseudoaneurysm.
No evidence of bowel obstruction.
Small bilateral pleural effusions with adjacent atalectasis.

Madison Crank 4

Diffuse peripancreatic inflammatory changes with edematous appearance of the pancreatic parenchyma, concerning for acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis. Correlate with lipase levels. No definite peripancreatic fluid collection.
Findings of fluid overload, including small bilateral pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis, moderate volume simple appearing abdominopelvic ascites, and trace pericardial effusion.
Small hiatal hernia.
Hyperattenuating material in the gallbladder, likely sludge.
Normal appendix. Focal hyperattenuating segment of distal small bowel, concerning for ischemia. No pneumatosis or portal venous gas. No bowel wall dilation to suggest obstruction. There is corresponding patchy opacification of the distal SMV branches, concerning for vascular occlusion. Recommend surgical consultation.
There is also some edema of the wall of the gastric body, as can be seen with gastritis.

vivian.huang 4

Extensive fat stranding and edema surrounding the pancreas as well as free intraperitoneal fluid in the right greater than left paracolic gutter, findings are consistent with acute interstitial pancreatitis. No evidence of focal fluid collection or necrosis of pancreatic tissue.

liam.oneill 4

Peripancreatic edema and fat stranding with subtle loss of normal pancreatic parenchyma. Findings favored to represent acute pancreatitis with early signs of necrosis
Bilateral pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis

stephen.klaassen 4

Findings/impression:
The pancreas is mildly edematous with surrounding edema and inflammatory changes. This could represent acute pancreatitis in the appropriate clinical setting. Recommend correlation with patient’s history and lipase.
Inflammatory changes are present surrounding the stomach within possible area of perforation. A couple small foci of air are present in the anterior abdominal mesentery. Recommend localization with other views.
Biliary sludge and stones are present. A focus of air is present about the anterior superior aspect of the gallbladder and could represent acute gallbladder perforation or emphysematous cholecystitis. Surrounding inflammatory changes are present.
Large air-filled diverticulum about the sigmoid colon.
Small bilateral pleural effusions with adjacent passive atelectasis.
Moderate volume ascites.
Nonspecific, increased density is present in the base of the penis and could represent acute blood in the appropriate clinical setting. Recommend correlations with patient’s history and clinical presentation.

cjnguyen 5

Acute necrotizing pancreatitis with necrosis within the pancreatic body involving approximately 30% of the pancreatic parenchyma. Acute necrotizing collection along the body of the pancreas. No gross venous thrombosis or evidence of pseudoaneurysm. Puncatate hyperdensities within the ballbladder, possibly representing cholilithiasis with punctate intraluminal gas within the gallbladder. Recommend RUQ ultrasound for further evaluation.

Small to moderate volume of abdominopelvic ascities and fluid tracking along the anterior pararenal space, likely reactive. Reactive inflammatory changes dilation and hyperenhancement of the duodenum and ascending colon.

ava.mirtsching 6

Acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis without evidence of walled off necrosis. Diffuse bowel wall thickening, likely reactive. Atelectasis and pleural effusions.

brian.padilla 6

Moderate bilateral pleural effusions with passive atelectasis.

Hyperdense material within the gallbladder likely gallbladder sludge.

Enlarged and edematous pancreas with nonenhancing parenchymal hypodense areas suggestive of necrotizing pancreatitis. Emergent surgical consultation is recommend.

Wall thickenening/edema of the greater curvature of the stomach likely secondary inflammation.

Moderate volume ascites.
