Abstract

A 60-year-old man with iron-deficiency anemia underwent upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies to determine the cause of the anemia, but no responsible lesions considered responsible for the anemia was found. Thus, small intestinal bleeding was suspected, and single-balloon enteroscopy was performed. Three hours after the end of the examination procedure, the patient complained of abdominal pain. Laboratory tests revealed hyperamylasemia, and abdominal computed tomography showed enlargement of the body-tail region of the pancreas with inflammation spreading to surrounding areas. He was thus diagnosed as having acute pancreatitis, a complication of single-balloon enteroscopy. Conservative treatment resulted in improvement of symptoms and hyperamylasemia.
