Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a disease with high morbidity and mortality despite the progress made in intensive care. Gas gangrene of the pancreas, usually caused by anaerobe infection, is an extremely rare, but severe form of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Several severity-of-illness classifications for acute pancreatitis are used to identify patients at risk for complications. Pancreatic necrosis is diagnosed radiographically by dynamic intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen. Early CT in patients with suspected necrotizing pancreatitis contributes to early intervention and many advantageously enhance survival. We report here on two cases of necrotizing pancreatitis with gas gangrene in 49-year-old male patient and 86-year-old female patient. (J Korean Surg Soc 2007;72:328-331) KCI Citation Count: 0
