Emphysematous pancreatitis is a rare and serious complication of severe acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis is made by computed tomography in the presence of gas in the pancreatic cell. Its management will depend largely on the condition of the patient, with a conservative a management at the start, and considering more aggressive options when worsening of symptoms. There has been a recent boom with minimally invasive procedures, but surgical debridement remains the gold standard. We present a subject review after a fatal case of emphysematous pancreatitis that we had in our service.
