Acute pancreatitis is potentially fatal and its severe form is often associated with pancreatic necrosis and high mortality. The inflammatory response of the disease causes peripancreatic and pancreatic necrosis, and in severe cases results in multi organ damage through vascular insult in the form of either arterial spasm, arterial thrombosis or splanchnic thrombosis. Hepatic infarction from acute pancreatitis is rare as the liver has a dual blood supply. We reported a patient with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) who presented with hepatic infarction due to splanchnic thrombosis.
