Abstract
The bleeding pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition but one of the lethal complications in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Early diagnosis and emergent intervention can reduce mortality and promise better outcomes. We experienced a case of a bleeding pseudo- aneurysm in a chronic pancreatitis patient. The 44-year-old male was suffering from con- tinuous, vague epigastric pain and black tarry stool. An abdominal CT scan revealed a homogeneously enhancing round mass in the pancreatic pseudocyst, and celiac angi- ography found that a pseudoaneurysm had originated from the pancreaticoduodenal artery. The patient was treated with Whipple's operation and was later discharged, having improved in his condition. (Korean J Gastrointesl Endosc 18: 276-280, 1998)
