CT scan of acute necrotic collection

Computed tomography (CT) scan reveals an acute necrotic collection in a 20-year-old female with acute pancreatitis. The axial CT image shows pancreatic necrosis with a nonenhancing region in the neck and the body of the pancreas (between arrowheads). In the surrounding anterior pararenal space, there is a large fluid accumulation that contains islands of necrosis (arrow).
