CONTEXT: Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of @entity360 . The intensity of @entity548 ranges from intermittent occult @entity548 to massive @entity548 leading to @entity204 . Although most cases can be managed by angioembolization, surgery plays an important role. CASE REPORT: We report two cases of hemosuccus pancreaticus managed at our institution in the past three years. Both cases occurred associated with acute @entity788 . A pseudocyst was found in one case. Angioembolization failed in one case and was not tried in the other because of @entity1344 . Both cases were successfully managed by surgery. CONCLUSION: Timely intervention, either by embolization or by surgery, can control this potentially life-threatening @entity548 . Choice of treatment, surgery or embolization, depends on technological availability and expertise of the practitioner.
