This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy with possible drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) caused by ibuprofen. The patient had
a history of psychiatric, but no somatic, disease, and he was admitted with a clinical presentation consistent with acute
pancreatitis after a bolus ingestion of 10 g of ibuprofen in a suicidal attempt. No evidence of other causality for acute pancreatitis
was identified. The patient was treated with a standard pancreatitis treatment regime and was discharged against medical advice
after four days. The case represents a possible causality between ibuprofen and DIP.
