Propofol-induced acute pancreatitis
JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PHARMACY AND THERAPEUTICS(2017)
Abstract
What is known and objectiveDrug-induced acute pancreatitis comprises only 0.5%-2% of all cases of acute pancreatitis. Propofol is a potentially dangerous drug that can cause acute pancreatitis, but this complication is extremely rare. Case summaryA 57-year-old patient developed acute pancreatitis after a planned thyroidectomy. As the common causes of acute pancreatitis were excluded, we believe that the pancreatitis was drug-induced, in this case by a single dose of propofol administered to the patient during the surgery. What is new and conclusionWe present a rare case of propofol-induced acute necrotising pancreatitis, which is to the best of our knowledge the first fatal case reported in an adult patient.
