Abstract

To the Editor: Acute abdominal pain is one of the most common conditions confronted in daily practice of general practitioners. However, in some instances, it is difficult to be certain about the exact intra-abdominal lesion that has given rise to the symptoms, even for an experienced gastroenterology specialist. It is especially dangerous to jump to spot diagnosis, when a serious uncommon underlying pathology somewhat mimics the clinical presentations of a common disease. We report, here, a patient of abdominal apoplexy because of a ruptured gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm that has abdominal computed tomography (CT) findings characteristic of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis.
