Abstract
Death following acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis is rare, with chronic alcoholism being a major risk factor. Acute pancreatitis can range from mild to severe, with necrotizing forms leading to multisystem organ failure. A 39-year-old male, a known alcoholic, died from severe intra-abdominal bleeding through the drainage tube, with 2000ml of blood lost in 10 minutes. The patient had infected necrosis and underwent organ-preserving necrosectomy followed by drainage-lavage. Histopathology confirmed the cause of death as acute necrotic haemorrhagic pancreatitis. This case illustrates the potential severity and rapid progression of this condition in alcoholics.
