  • Title: Pancreatitis in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    Author: Niemelä S, Lehtola J, Karttunen T, Lähde S.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1989 Jun; 36(3):175-7. PubMed ID: 2753464.
    Abstract:
    We describe six patients with acute pancreatitis associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and no other etiological factor of pancreatic disease in a series of 513 patients with IBD. Five of the 6 patients had Crohn's disease and one indeterminate colitis; four had simultaneous symptoms of active colitis. The pancreatis was not caused by drugs or duodenal involvement of IBD. Our study suggests that pancreatic disease is one of the extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD, in particular of Crohn's disease.
