[Autoimmune pancreatitis: beneficial effects of corticosteroid therapy on biliary and metabolic complications].
Auto-immune pancreatitis is rare and its evolution includes both the usual complications of chronic pancreatites, such as diabetes and specific consequences and complications including extension of inflammatory lesions of the extra or intrahepatic biliary tract. One particular characteristic of these complications is that they are sensitive to cortisone therapy, as illustrated by the case we report here.
