D1 in Fig.5 is duodenal bulb, and D3-D9 are descending portion. D5 of Fig.9-D10 of Fig.14 demonstrate wall thickening (black arrow) by submucosal edema. Absence of pancreatic head enlargement, neighboring inflammatory findings, or heterogeneity of pancreas parenchyma indicate possibility of pancreatitis is unlikely. It is acute inflammatory lesion localized in descending portion of duodenum, namely acute duodenitis (ADML: acute duodenal mucosal lesion). Endoscopy (Fig.A) showed multiple shallow acute ulcers associated with acute duodenitis and clot in descending portion of duodenum.
