Abstract

Gallstones and alcohol represent the most common etiologic factors associated with over 80% of the cases of acute pancreatitis. There is an extensive list of other associated conditions (see Table 1), with approximately 10% of cases falling into the idiopathic category if a thorough investigation is carried out [1–4]. Gallstones are the most common single cause of acute pancreatitis in the United Kingdom [2, 5–7] and in certain parts of North America [8–10],
