ABSTRACT

Acute edematous pancreatitis is a medical emergency characterized by a sudden pancreas inflammation. It can be caused by various factors, primarily gallstones, alcohol consumption, or medication. Acute edematous pancreatitis caused by Fasciola hepatica infection is exceptionally rare and could be overlooked. We report a case of a 24-year-old female patient who presented with onsets of clinical and paraclinical signs of acute pancreatitis (AP). The patient was diagnosed with Fasciola hepatica-induced edematous pancreatitis, a rare parasitic infection that can cause AP. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of edematous pancreatitis, particularly in young patients with no significant medical history.
