Sickle cell disease is known to cause acute pancreatitis either due to gall stones obstructing the pancreatic duct or by vaso-occlusive mechanism. However chronic pancreatitis is a very rare complication in sickle cell anemia. We report a case of sickle cell trait presenting with chronic pancreatitis with pseudo cyst. USG abdomen and CT abdomen confirmed the diagnosis of chronic calcific pancreatitis with pseudocyst. Etiological work up for other causes did not reveal anything except sickle cell trait. This case represents a rare association between chronic calcific pancreatitis and sickle cell trait.
已知镰状细胞病可因胆结石阻塞胰管或通过血管阻塞机制导致急性胰腺炎。然而,慢性胰腺炎在镰状细胞贫血中是一种非常罕见的并发症。我们报告一例镰状细胞性状患者出现伴有假性囊肿的慢性胰腺炎。腹部超声和腹部CT证实了慢性钙化性胰腺炎伴假性囊肿的诊断。对其他病因的病因学检查除镰状细胞性状外未发现任何异常。该病例代表了慢性钙化性胰腺炎与镰状细胞性状之间的罕见关联。
