[Chronic pancreatitis as the initial presentation of Crohn's disease].
It has been suggested that pancreatitis could be an extrahepatic manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease, since its incidence in this disease is greater than that in the general population and in many cases no etiological factor is found. We present a case of chronic idiopathic pancreatitis as the initial presentation of Crohn's disease of the colon.
