Abstract
Intraabdominal arteriovenous malformations [AVMs]
are rare and mostly asymptomatic. Among these Pancreatic AVM is a very rare
entity [accounting for only 0.9 % of
intra-abdominal AVMs] with less than 100 cases are found in the literature [1]. Most of the patients remain asymptomatic or
may present with complain of pain in abdomen, gastro-intestinal bleeding in
form of melena or portal hypertension. Our case describes a 57-year-old man
with complain of upper abdominal pain and melena. Upper gastro-intestinal [GI]
endoscopy shows oozing of blood near ampulla vater. We confirmed the diagnosis
of pancreatic AVM on contrast enhanced computed tomography [CECT]
abdomen. We described the diagnosis of pancreatic AVM by CECT abdomen with it’s
treatment including embolization of the feeding arteries. Bleeding completely
stops after embolization.
