Acute pancreatitis represents the acute inflammatory process of the pancreas which can remain localized in the gland or could extend in the tissues around the pancreas or retroperitoneal tissues and also at the organs from the pancreatic lodge.

The diagnosis is usually based on the increase in pancreas volume and on the changes in structure objected on the ultrasound examination. It is characterised by a “release” of enzymes out of the pancreatic ducts associated with oedema and necrosis in the parenchyma and in the retroperitoneal area.
