Case report: We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with myasthenia gravis, who developed reversible signs of pancreatic damage, probably related to immunoglobulin vein infusion therapy (IGiv). During this treatment, the patients had an increase of the serum pancreatic enzymes, greater than five times the upper limit of normal values, resolved, without treatment, after the suspension of IGiv. Moreover, a magnetic resonance with cholangiography, showed a slight hyperintensity of the head of the pancreas.
