ABSTRACT

La litiasis biliar está asociada desarrollo de pancreatitis aguda en el 40% de los casos, sin embargo la sensibilidad diagnóstica de la ecografía abdominal y la tomografía es limitada para hallar esta etiología. En el presente caso se ejemplifica el uso de las enzimas hepáticas aminotransferasas para la predicción del origen biliar en paciente con colecistectomía y ecografía abdominal negativa para colelitiasis y coledocolitiasis. Se presenta un paciente de 55 años, con un cuadro característico de pancreatitis aguda de origen biliar, a quien se hizo el diagnóstico y el tratamiento endoscópico recomendado.


Gallstones are associated with development of acute pancreatitis in 40% of cases, however the diagnostic sensitivities of abdominal ultrasound and CT scans for finding this etiology are limited. The case presented here exemplifies the predictive use of aminotransferase liver enzymes in patients with biliary cholecystectomy but abdominal ultrasound that is negative for cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. The case is a 55 year old patient whose clinical picture was consistent with acute biliary pancreatitis. The diagnosis was made and endoscopic treatment was recommended.
