title: [Acute pancreatitis in cystic fibrosis].
abstract: Cystic fibrosis is the most prevalent hereditary disease in the Caucasian race. It is a multisystemic alteration that affects the quality and quantitative properties of exocrine secretions. The pancreas develops a progressive atrophy causing steatorrhoea and nutritive deficiencies. Acute pancreatitis is an unusual complication. The pancreatic atrophy prevents the inflammatory response. Published series suggest that pancreatitis in 0.5%, including patients without pancreatic insufficiency. We present two cases with cystic fibrosis, with and without pancreatic insufficiency, who developed acute pancreatitis.
