An Elucidation of Pancreatic Abscess: Pathophysiological Insights, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapeutic Modalities

Gilles J. Hoilat

A pancreatic abscess is a localized collection of pus within the pancreatic tissue or its surrounding structures, typically resulting from an acute or chronic inflammatory process. This condition arises due to the breakdown of pancreatic tissue integrity, leading to the accumulation of infectious material and necrotic debris. The pancreas, an essential organ of the digestive and endocrine systems, is susceptible to various disorders, among which pancreatic abscess stands out as a severe and potentially life-threatening condition. This article delves into the intricate details of pancreatic abscess, exploring its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic modalities, treatment options, and prognostic factors
