Article Abstract
Context: Pancreatic pseudocysts are relatively common complications of pancreatitis. A pseudocyst can result from an episode of acute pancreatitis, exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, or trauma. Treatment is indicated for persistent, symptomatic pseudocysts and in the case of related complications.
Case Report: We describe the case of a 66-year-old man who referred to our department for bowel obstruction caused by a necrotic pancreatic bezoar occurring 16 days after the patient underwent a jejunal-pseudocyst anastomosis performed to treat a post-pancreatitis voluminous pseudocyst obstructing the gastric outlet.
Conclusion: In case of intestinal obstruction after a jejunal-pseudocyst anastomosis, pancreatic bezoar should be considered in the armamentarium of the differential diagnosis.

Gastrointestinal bezoars often occur as a complication of previous gastric surgery or in patients with altered gastrointestinal motility. Complications associated with gastrointestinal bezoars include perforation, peritonitis, protein-losing enteropathy, and acute appendicitis. Acute pancreatitis secondary to a duodenal bezoar is rare, and few studies have reported this complication.

A 58-year-old man presented with alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis. Imaging revealed complete necrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma. After initial non-operative management, the patient developed a duodenal ulcer and an upper gastrointestinal bleed and later spontaneously formed a fistula between the pancreas and the first segment of the duodenum.

Objective: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have significantly improved clinical effects on glycemic control. However, real-world data concerning the difference in gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) among different GLP-1 RAs are still lacking. Our study aimed to characterize and compare gastrointestinal AEs among different marketed GLP-1 RAs (exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, lixisenatide, and semaglutide) based on real-world data.
