[Abstract] Abdominal hypertension (IAH) is one of the common complications of severe pancreatitis (SAP). According to the grade of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and organ dysfunction, IAH can be divided into abdominal hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Pathophysiological changes induced by IAH/ACS can lead to multiple organ dysfunction, which is an important factor affecting the progression of SAP and the prognosis of patients. Imaging examination is an indispensable method for the diagnosis of SAP, but the study of its combination with IAH/ACS is limited. This article reviews the current progress and prospects of IAH/ACS in pathogenesis and imaging research, aiming at more accurate assessment of patients' condition and providing more information for clinicians to develop individualized treatment programs. |
