A CASE OF DESCENDING COLONIC STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY TRAUMATIC PANCREATITIS

Abstract

We report a rare case of descending colonic stenosis complicated by traumatic pancreatitis.
A 45-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of epigastric and back pain. ERCP and barium enema revealed pancreatic duct dilatation, a cyst in the tail and descending colonic stenosis. Repeated biopsies of the colon showed no malignancy. Colonic stenosis gradually improved and we then performed division of the pancreas and pancreaticogastrostomy. We should pay attention to colonic stenosis as an initial sign of pancreatitis.
