ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Endoscopic band ligation is considered as the gold standard of treatment for oesophageal varices. Fewer and often mild complications can occur.AIM:
To report and to discuss an association between oesophageal variceal endoscopic band ligation and actue pancreatitis. CASE REPORT We report the original case of a patient with cirrhosis and who had presented an acute pancreatitis 3 days after oesophageal variceal endoscopic band ligation. Common aetiologies of acute pancreatitis was eliminated. The evolution was favourable without specific treatment.CONCLUSION:
In the absence of similar case reports, the association between oesophageal variceal endoscopic band ligation and acute pancreatitis observed in our patient remains rather fortuitous even though experimental studies can explain these association.
