Abstract

Crohn's disease may exceptionally be revealed by recurrent pancreatitis.

Case report: A 12-year-old boy presented with recurrent pancreatitis without recognized etiology. At the fourth episode, abdominal pain and abscess of the anus led to the diagnostic of Crohn's disease. Corticotherapy was successful on pancreatic and intestinal manifestations.

Conclusion: Recurrent pancreatitis may reveal Crohn's disease. Endoscopic examination of the duodenum and the colon is recommended in patients with recurrent pancreatitis and negative etiologic investigations.
