Introduction: Post-acute pancreatitis fluid collections are a frequent complication of acute pancreatitis. The 2012 revision of the Atlanta classification has standardized their definition and management. Objectives: To illustrate the contribution of imaging, particularly computed tomography, in the characterization of post-acute pancreatitis collections and their management. Methods: Retrospective study of 96 patients, including 43 suspected cases of complications, collected in the radiology department of the Avicenne Military Hospital in Marrakech between January 2024 and January 2025. Results: CT enabled the detection and characterization of all suspected complications involving post-pancreatitis fluid collections. It also facilitated the identification of all cases of infection or transformation of these collections, thus guiding optimal patient monitoring and management. Conclusion: Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for classification and evaluation. The evolution and therapeutic orientation of post-acute pancreatitis collections as indicated in the Atlanta classification. A progressive, imaging-guided approach optimizes management.
