A case of acute pancreatitis caused by obstruction of the pancreatic duct with a plant-based broom bristle

A case of acute pancreatitis caused by obstruction of the pancreatic duct with a plant-based broom bristle Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease causing acute abdominal pain.Most cases are mild, but 15 %-20 % may develop complications leading to organ failure and mortality [1].Causes include metabolic issues, injury, drugs, ischemia, infection, and genetic damage [1].Biliary and pancreatic duct obstruction is a common factor.Biliopancreatic duct obstruction can result from stones, inflammation, tumors, congenital abnormalities, and other diseases [1].Foreign body-induced obstruction is rare.Here, we report a case where a foreign body in the pancreatic duct caused acute pancreatitis.
