Abstract:

Several drugs have previously been implicated to cause acute pancreatitis. We report the rare case of codeine induced acute pancreatitis. A 43-year-old woman developed the symptoms and clinical signs of acute pancreatitis 90 minutes after the ingestion of codeine phosphate. The diagnosis was proved both biochemically and radiologically which excluded other potential causes. The likely underlying pathophysiology is codeine-induced spasm of the sphincter of oddi.
