Indomethacin-induced pancreatitis. A second case report.

چکیده
We read about the case of indomethacininduced pancreatitis reported by Memis et al. with great interest [1]. It seems to be the first report which attributed pancreatitis to Indomethacin intake despite the presence of small gallstones in the gallbladder.

The aim of this letter is to discuss the modality of diagnosis and therapeutic consequences.
