  • Title: Silent acute pancreatitis with encephalomalacia mimicking hepatic coma.
    Author: Cohen L, Sandbank U, Rosenfeld JB.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1975 Jan; 63(1):75-8. PubMed ID: 1119473.
    Abstract:
    A very rare case of acute pancreatitis with concurrent encephalomalacia and ascites mimicking hepatic coma is described. The possibliity that the pancreatitis was caused by the administration of chlorothiazide in a diabetic patient is suggested as possible etiology. It is emphasized that when a cirrhotic patient develops coma, the possibility of painless,silent pancreatitis with encephalomalacia as well as hepatic coma should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
