ABSTRACT
Some of the patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can develop symptoms originated from extragastrointestinal organs and systems, and are called extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). EIMs may be associated with IBD-related injuries or being drug-induced. These manifestations may occur before, after or simultaneously with the diagnosis of IBD. EIMs may detrimentally impact patient's functional status and quality of life. This article reviewed the pancreatic manifestations in patients with IBD and its underlying pathophysiology. EIMs may complicate the course of IBD. The clinicians must pay real attention to EIMs for facilitating the early diagnosis and treatment.
