Cocaine use is prevalent worldwide and affects multiple organ systems. Ischemia of the esophagus and small bowel are examples of its gastrointestinal complications. Cocaine-induced pancreatitis is a rare entity. Only 8 cases of cocaine-induced pancreatitis have been described in the literature. We present a rare case of a 61-year-old man cocaine user who presented with his first episode of acute pancreatitis (AP) in which common etiologies of AP were excluded. In addition, we explore the pathophysiology of cocaine-induced AP.
可卡因的使用在全球范围内普遍存在，并会影响多个器官系统。食管和小肠缺血是其胃肠道并发症的例子。可卡因诱发的胰腺炎是一种罕见病症。文献中仅描述了8例可卡因诱发的胰腺炎病例。我们报告了一例罕见病例，一名61岁的可卡因使用者首次出现急性胰腺炎发作，排除了急性胰腺炎的常见病因。此外，我们还探讨了可卡因诱发急性胰腺炎的病理生理学。
