[Hereditary pancreatitis].
We present the cases of three brothers (a woman and two men) with recurrent attacks of necrotic acute pancreatitis that were treated in our clinic. Two of them have diabetes mellitus controlled through insulin treatment. All patients have presented the first episode of acute pancreatitis around age of 35. We have observed a high level of serum triglyceride at admission, without evidence of lipid disorder. In addition we couldn't identify other causes of these episodes of acute pancreatitis (biliary stones, alcohol, trauma, drugs, lipid disorders). During the last year two members of this family presented recurrent attacks of abdominal pain without any biochemical or imaging signs of acute pancreatitis.
