ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Among the new identified causes of so-called idiopathic acute pancreatitis are chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestine. OBSERVATION A 21 year-old man was hospitalised for the third episode of unexplained acute pancreatitis. Digestive endoscopies revealed an ulcerated terminal ileitis compatible with Crohn's disease.DISCUSSION:
The frequency of idiopathic pancreatitis in patients exhibiting a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine is of around 1%. Pancreatic involvement may precede the digestive manifestations of Crohn's disease and its clinical expression varies. An auto-immune mechanism appears to be responsible.
