Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): On December 14, 2011, I had pain in my abdomen and went to Hebei Province Hospital No. 2 for CT to confirm the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, and on December 20, I had CT to find that the tail part of the pancreas was enlarged with exudate and there was fluid in the left chest cavity. After that, the exudate was slowly absorbed by CT every 6 days, and the fluid in the chest cavity disappeared after it turned into strips. However, the enlargement of the tail of the pancreas has not improved. The last one was done at 2.86. About 25 days after hospitalization, the gastric tube was taken out, and until now, he felt pressure pain in the upper abdomen. After hospitalization, growth inhibitor was used. At first it was 5, then the dosage was 10. After two days, the pain in the abdomen was not there. After being discharged from the hospital on 35 days, he was given two injections of octreotide acetate a day (for 22 days), 1 capsule of omeprazole, and pancreatic enzyme capsules. Recently, I had a plain scan enhanced CT and the tail of the pancreas was enlarged by 2.86 and there was a little exudate. I heard that pancreatitis can become chronic if not treated in time, and I am very worried about the deterioration of my condition. I would like to consult with my physician whether we should continue to take medication and wait for recovery, or whether we need to go to a better hospital for further treatment. I hope the doctor will give me a suggestion, thank you very much! General surgery Li Weiqin: Acute pancreatitis usually does not become chronic pancreatitis, you can rest assured.
