ABSTRACT
A 51-YEar old male with alcoholic pancreatitis progressed to bowel inflammation and cecal perforation. Colonic complications of pancreatitis include fistula, stenosis, necrosis and perforation. The pathogenesis of these entities is discussed and the literature regarding colonic complications is reviewed. Although it is uncommon, bowel involvement in pancreatitis is potentially lethal and may necessitate surgery in an otherwise medically managed illness.
