title: [Acute pancreatitis and malabsorption with tetany secondary to Crohn's disease with duodenal involvement].
abstract: Involvement of the duodenum in Crohn's disease is uncommon, and the pathomechanism of the associated acute pancreatitis remains controversial. We describe a case of Crohn's disease with duodenal involvement associated with hyperamylasemia and malabsorption showing a favorable response to steroid treatment.
