Abstract
A 62-year-old male presented with severe post-ERCP acute pancreatitis. He required admission to the ICU in two moments due to respiratory and renal failure and neurological deterioration. On the hospitalization ward, he presented fluctuating alteration of the level of consciousness, with bradypsychia, disorientation and tendency to somnolence, which persisted after hemodynamic, metabolic and renal stabilization.
