History of pancreatitis of unclear etiology. Evaluation somewhat limited by incomplete examination due to early termination by patient.ABDOMEN:LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: Within the constraints of limited sequences, no focal hepatic lesions are identified. There is no biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is minimally distended but lacks gallstones or evidence of cholecystitis.SPLEEN: No significant abnormality noted.PANCREAS: The pancreas appears edematous with loss of normal peripheral lobulations compatible with acute pancreatitis. A small amount of fluid is present surrounding the pancreas extending into the left greater than right perinephric spaces. No loculated fluid collections are identified. Portions of the pancreatic duct are not well visualized, but the visualized portions do not appear significantly dilated. No obstructing stones or lesions are identified on this limited examination.ADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.KIDNEYS, URETERS: Subcentimeter left renal cyst.RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: Small amount of fluid surrounding the pancreas extending into the left greater than right perinephric spaces.BOWEL, MESENTERY: No significant abnormality noted.BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: Trace left pleural effusion.
1.Exam was terminated early by patient and is limited.2.Acute pancreatitis. 3.No significant pancreatic ductal dilatation. Portions of the pancreatic duct are not well visualized which may be secondary to the pancreatitis. 4.Within the limitations of limited sequences and lack of intravenous contrast, no pancreatic mass or obstructing lesions are identified.
