초록
Abdominal pain is a common but benign symptom after colonoscopy. We report a case of acute pancreatitis that occurred just after anelective screening colonoscopy; this is a rare event with very few reported cases. A healthy, asymptomatic male underwent screeningcolonoscopy at our center and developed abdominal pain and emesis after the procedure. An abdominal X-ray ruled out perforation but laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of amylase and lipase. The patient had no etiological risk factors for pancreatitis. Thepresumed mechanism of pancreatitis in this case is mechanical and pressure trauma from excessive insuffation, external abdominal pressure, and repeated withdrawal of the colonoscope due to tight angulation of the splenic flexure, a structure that is in close proximityto the pancreatic tail. Acute pancreatitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with abdominal painafter colonoscopy once more common etiologies have been excluded.
Abstract
Abdominal pain is a common but benign symptom after colonoscopy. We report a case of acute pancreatitis that occurred just after anelective screening colonoscopy; this is a rare event with very few reported cases. A healthy, asymptomatic male underwent screeningcolonoscopy at our center and developed abdominal pain and emesis after the procedure. An abdominal X-ray ruled out perforation but laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of amylase and lipase. The patient had no etiological risk factors for pancreatitis. Thepresumed mechanism of pancreatitis in this case is mechanical and pressure trauma from excessive insuffation, external abdominal pressure, and repeated withdrawal of the colonoscope due to tight angulation of the splenic flexure, a structure that is in close proximityto the pancreatic tail. Acute pancreatitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with abdominal painafter colonoscopy once more common etiologies have been excluded.
