Burjeel Abu Dhabi treats rare pancreatitis
A medical team at Burjeel Hospital Abu Dhabi discovered a rare case of venous ischemic pancreatitis in a 49-year-old woman. She was experiencing persistent abdominal swelling, severe pain, and difficulty with bowel movements. It was revealed that her condition was caused by extensive blood clots in the pancreatic veins, which blocked the normal blood drainage. This led to her symptoms, despite pancreatic enzyme levels being low rather than elevated, as is typical in classic pancreatitis. Through precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the team was able to address this condition, which was characterized by a contradiction between her symptoms and blood test results.
