Pancreatic ascites: successful treatment with pancreatic radiation
Am J Dig Dis.
1976 Apr.
Abstract
A 51-year-old man with clinical and laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of pancreatic ascites is reported. Response to usual medical measures was inadequate. Single-dose irradiation to the pancreatic area (550 rads) resulted in marked improvement in his ascites. Operative pancreatogram months later revealed no evidence of ductal leakage. Low-dose pancreatic irradiation may be a unseful therapeutic adjunct in the older, high-risk patient with pancreatic ascites in whom surgery is not considered feasible.
