Abstract
The authors report a case of a 62-year-old man with upper abdominal pain with few hours of onset and vomits. The initial serum amylase was 2306 U/L. The first CT showed signs of a non-complicated acute pancreatitis. He suffered clinical deterioration and for this reason he was admitted on the intensive care unit where he progressed to multiple organ failure in <24 h. A new CT scan was performed that showed pneumoperitoneum and pneumoretroperitoneum. He underwent an exploratory laparotomy and pancreatic necrosectomy and vacuum pack laparostomy were performed. Intraoperative peritoneal fluid culture was positive for Clostridium perfringens confirming the diagnosis. He was discharged from hospital after 61 days. According to our research this is the second case reported in literature of a spontaneous acute necrotizing pancreatitis caused by C. perfringens, with pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumoperitoneum on evaluation by CT scan, that survived after surgical treatment and vigorous resuscitation.
