    Abstract:
    Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare clinical condition, defined as a bleeding from an artery around the pancreas or a lesion on the pancreas, to the pancreatic duct. The intensity of bleeding can vary from occult bleeding to life threatening massive acute bleeding. In this article, we aimed to present a 68-year-old man who presented to our clinic with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain. Endoscopy revealed hemorrhage from ampulla vateri, CT angiographic examination showed an aneurysm of the splenic artery and that the splenic artery was connected to the pancreatic duct.Splenectomy and subtotal pancreatectomy was performed on the patient. The patient was discharged with healing. Hemosuccus pancreaticus should be kept in mind in patients with a history of pancreatitis and peripancreatic aneurysm and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.The early diagnosis and treatment of HP is life-saving. In this study, we aimed to review the basic symptoms and clinical findings, along with the diagnosis and treatment methods of HP. KEY WORDS: Gastrointestinal bleeding, Pancreas, Splenic Artery. L’emosuccus pancreatico – o wirsugorragia - è una rara condizione clinica, definita come sanguinamento da un’arteria del pancreas o da una lesione sul pancreas nel dotto pancreatico. L’intensità del sanguinamento può variare da sanguinamento occulto a sanguinamento acuto massiccio potenzialmente letale. In questo articolo, presentiamo il caso di un uomo di 68 anni che presentava ricorrenti sintomi di sanguinamento del tratto digestivo superiore e dolore addominale. L’endoscopia ha localizzato l’emorragia dall’ampulla vateri, l’esame angio- TC ha rivelato la presenza di un aneurisma dell’arteria splenica adiacente al dotto pancreatico. Spenectomia e pancreatectomia subtotale sono state eseguite sul paziente ed il paziente è stato dimesso guarito. L’emosuccus pancreatico deve essere tenuto presente nei pazienti con anamnesi di pancreatite e aneurisma peripancreatico e sanguinamento del tratto gastrointestinale superiore. La diagnosi precoce e il trattamento dell’HP sono salvavita. In questo studio, abbiamo sottolineato i sintomi di base e i risultati clinici, insieme ai metodi di diagnosi e trattamento del HP.
