RESUMO
Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) a condition caused by gallstones; can be a life-threatening condition if not treated early (mortality ~2-7%). Complications and symptoms of ABP can be ranging from mild (nausea, vomiting, and fever) to severe (necrosis, infections, hemorrhage, abscesses, renal failure, and adult respiratory distress syndrome). Th is paper presents a specifi c case of a middle-aged male diagnosed with ABP to illustrate the disease in a clinical setting, mainly looking at its presentation, diagnosis and focusing more on treatment and management. Clinical examinations and radiological investigations are crucial to recognize the diagnosis and foresee the prognosis of this condition. Th e medications that are administered to patients suff ering from this condition include analgesics (like morphine), intravenous fl uids, and antibiotics (e.g. ciprofl oxacin). Th e limitations and lack of knowledge described above are immense concerns. It is highly encouraged that future research opportunities will compensate for the present gap in knowledge, contributing to current literature, as well as having practical implications for treatment and management of ABP.
