Recurrent acute pancreatitis as a complication of cystic fibrosis: report of one case treated surgically.
We present the case of a young woman previously diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) manifested primarily by respiratory symptoms and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Only 0.5% of these patients suffer from episodes of recurrent acute pancreatitis, the majority of which respond to conservative treatment. In this case, recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis made it necessary to perform a surgical pancreatic drainage procedure.
