Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, together popularly known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are characterized by a number of extraintestinal manifestations. Although infrequent, acute pancreatitis, and less often chronic pancreatitis, may occur as a result of the disease itself or secondary to the medications used in the treatment. The increased incidence of acute pancreatitis in Crohn's disease can be explained based on the high predisposition to cholesterol as well as pigment stones as a result of ileal disease, anatomic abnormalities of the duodenum, immunologic disturbances associated with IBD, and, above all, to the side effects of many medications used in the treatment. Sulfasalazine, 5-aminosalicylic acid, azathioprine, and 6-mercaptopurine are well known to cause acute pancreatitis as a result of a possible idiosyncratic mechanism. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis share many clinical manifestations and treatment modalities. Nonspecific elevations of serum pancreatic enzymes in IBD make it difficult to avoid over diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, particularly in patients with Crohn's disease who suffer from abdominal pain often. The IBD-pancreas association is further reflected in many reports of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
