Figure 1

(a) Initial abdomen CT: enlarged pancreas with peripancreatic inflammatory changes consistent with pancreatitis. (b) Interval worsening of the acute pancreatitis. More extensive retroperitoneal fluid extending anteriorly along the psoas muscles more on the right side down to the deep pelvis. Hypoechoic areas in the head of the pancreas/uncinate process possibly areas, perfusion deficits, and parenchymal necrosis. Fluid in the peripancreatic region, lesser sac, and small free intraperitoneal fluid more on the right abdomen.
