Abstract
•
Gitelman Syndrome is a rare disease with many different associations. Before this case report, it was never reported to be associated with chronic pancreatitis.
•
Our reported patient has been having multiple attacks of acute on top of chronic pancreatitis, despite the negative history of predisposing factors of chronic pancreatitis
•
The purpose of this report is to discuss the clinical and radiological findings of such disease, the proposed surgical treatment and the approach in light of our experience.
•
We hope after publishing this case report to help and to put such association under the microscope in the hope of improving the patients’ outcome.
•
Further studies are needed to support or challenge this association and to better understand the pathophysiology of chronic pancreatitis in patients with Gitelman syndrome.
