Fig. 4

Grade III acute pancreatitis with modified CTSI (moderate score 6). ad CT shows acute fluid collection spreading from the retromesenteric plane (white star), lateroconal plane (red arrow), and retrorenal plane (dotted blue arrow) into the combined interfascial plane (yellow star) and infiltrating the posterior pararenal space (white arrow) with pancreatic pseudo-cyst seen (black arrow). Further extension of the fluid seen at a lower level beyond the interfascial plane into the subfascial plane (green arrow) occurred within 9 days, so the case progresses to grade IV within 9 days (the modified CTSI progresses to severe score 10)
