[Acute pancreatitis caused by valproic acid: apropos a case].
Acute pancreatitis is a rare, albeit severe, secondary effect of valproic acid which is probably due to an idiosyncratic reaction. Diagnosis is based on high clinical suspicion. A new case of pancreatitis by valproic acid an a review of the literature are presented. The authors suggest that strict clinical control of the patient be carried out and pancreatic enzymes be monitored on appearance of symptoms suggestive of this complication.
