Chyloperitoneum, cholelithiasis and pancreatic pseudocyst with a 90% necrosis without active bleeding were found during surgery. Cholecistectomy, washing and intracavitary necrosectomy, stitching of the small vascular intracystic stump, Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy, draining of the chyloperitoneum and of the cavity were performed. Chylous ascites persisted and was treated with octeotride, diuretics and fat-free diet supplemented with medium-chain trigliyerides, proteins and vitamins. However, sequels remained including: recurrent acute pancreatitis, splenic vein thrombosis and left portal hypertension. As the patient was not diabetic and the platelet count was 140000 cells/mm3 splenectomy or expectant monitoring were posed as possible choices. The interest of the case is rooted in the diagnosis, treatment and evolution of the chylous ascites, 90% pancreatic necrosis, pseudocyst and splenic vein thrombosis, as well as the repeated admissions.}, publisher = {Archivos de Medicina Universitaria}, keywords = {Severe acute pancreatitis}, keywords = {Chylous ascites}, keywords = {Pancreatic pseudocyst}, keywords = {Left portal hypertension}, keywords = {Surgery}, keywords = {Pancreatitis aguda grave}, keywords = {Ascitis quilosa}, keywords = {Pseudoquiste pancreático}, keywords = {Hipertensión portal izquierda}, keywords = {Cirugía}, title = {Severe acute pancreatitis of gallblader origin with sequels: pancreatic necrosis, pseudocyst and splenic vein thrombosis}, author = {Mochón Benguigui, Sol and Navarro Freire, Francisco}, }
