Acute Pancreatitis and Intragastric Balloon: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Obesity remains a world-wide hazard causing significant impact on general population. Many surgical and non-surgical interventions are used in the management of obesity related morbidity and mortality. Intragastric balloons have been widely adopted for this purpose. This procedure is considered relatively easy and safe. However, major complications- although rare- as acute pancreatitis had been reported. Thus, all the physicians must be aware of these complications for early diagnosis and management. Hereby, we report a case of acute pancreatitis following intragastric balloon insertion. We will also present a review of all the previous cases reported in the literature.
