چکیده
Hemosuccus pancreaticus, also named as Wirsungorrhagia or psuedohematobilia is a rare condition of intermittent hemorrhage from upper gastrointestinal tract. The source of bleeding is from a visceral aneurysm into main pancreatic duct in patients with chronic pancreatitis. It is a life threatening complication of pancreatitis and a significant diagnostic challenge due to its intermittent nature and rarity. This is a case of male patient with chronic pancreatitis presenting with hemosuccus pancreatitis from an aneurysm of splenic artery, treated successfully by distal pancreatectomy and spleenectomy.
