Acute Pancreatitis Induced by Intragastric Balloon
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Intragastric balloon has been shown to result in substantial weight reduction in patients with morbid obesity. However, it has some complications mostly related to the pressure effect and balloon rupture. We present a rare case of pancreatitis induced by insertion of intragastric balloon into a 20 years old female. These cases, although rare should be kept in mind when investigating patients with intragastric balloons.
