Purpose 1.To evaluate patient of pancreatitis by computed tomography in terms of: Morphology of pancreas in Acute pancreatitis Acute edematous / necrotizing pancreatitis. Complications of pancreatitis likepseudocyst, abscess, GI andbiliarytract and vascular complications (Pseudoaneurysmand Venous thrombosis) etc. Prognostic correlation by Modified CT severity index (CTSI). 2.To define common etiologies and age incidence. 3.To define Incidence of various complications of acute pancreatitis.

Results Acute pancreatitis Acute Pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of pancreas with intrapancreatic activation of enzymes from acinar cells into surrounding tissues. It is a common disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Pathologic changes vary from acute edema and cellular infiltration to necrosis of the acinar cells, hemorrhage from necrotic blood vessels, and intra- and extrapancreatic fat necrosis. There are various causes with alcoholism and gall stone disease being the most common. Males and the age group 31 to 40 were most commonly affected. 39% patients developed complications of which pseudocysts, necrosis and vascular complications were the most common. 29.7 % of pseudocysts got complicated by infection or hemorrhage. Duration of hospital stay and complications increased with higher degree of pancreatitis according to modified CT severity index. Overall mortality was 6 % most commonly due to SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) followed by MODS (multi organ dysfunction syndrome) Page 5 of 18

Conclusion 1)CT is the most sensitive and specific imaging modality for the evaluation of acute pancreatitis and its complication.2)the modified CT severity index has a stronger prognostic correlation and could also predict the length of hospital stay and development of organ failure.3)alcohol found to be the most common etiology in current study.4)among all complications Infected necrosis has highest mortality rates.5)morbidity in terms of no of days in hospital were higher compared to reference studies.
