Acute Pancreatitis Secondary to Pancreatic Torsion due to Diaphragmatic Eventration

Abstract Acute pancreatitis because of pancreatic torsion is a rare presentation, with very few documented data found on human subjects, with the majority of published case reports being in dogs [7]. In this paper we will be discussing A 37-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain, on examination she exhibited tenderness and guarding in the epigastric and right upper quadrants, subsequent investigations revealed elevated lipase and left hemi-diaphragmatic elevation resulting in pancreatic body and tail torsion. The patient was admitted for acute pancreatitis management, and she underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy as she was found to have cholelithiasis without cholecystitis. She was stable and symptom free upon discharge 4 days later.
