Radio-Clinical Aspect of Occlusive Syndrome Associated with Pancreatitis Secondary to Duodenal Haematoma: A Case Report

Summary: This case report describes a 13-year-old adolescent, diabetic for 3 years, admitted for severe abdominal pain associated with bilious vomiting and cessation of bowel movements. Clinical and paraclinical evaluation revealed a bulbar ulcer complicated by a duodenal haematoma leading to a partial occlusive syndrome and acute reactive pancreatitis. Management included digestive rest, parenteral nutrition and eradication of Helicobacter pylori by injection. The favourable clinical and radiological outcome highlights an effective therapeutic approach and raises questions about the management of rare gastrointestinal complications often secondary to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in children.
