However, IGB causes a wide range of adverse effects that range from minor ones, such as nausea, stomach pain and gastroesophageal reflux, to serious ones, such as ulceration, perforation, intestinal blockage and compression of adjusting structures. A 22-year-old Saudi woman presented to the emergency department (ED) with a history of upper abdominal pain that started 1 day before admission. The patient\u2019s surgical background was unremarkable, and no other obvious pancreatitis risk factors were present. The patient underwent a minimally invasive treatment after being diagnosed with obesity (class 1), in which an IGB was inserted one and a half months prior to her ED presentation. She consequently began to lose weight (around 3\u00a0kg). The hypothesis states that pancreatitis following IGB insertion can be caused either by stomach distention and pancreatic compression at the tail or body or by ampulla obstruction due to balloon catheter migration at the duodenum. Heavy meal consumption, which may cause an increase in pancreatic compression, is another potential cause of pancreatitis in such patients. We believe that the IGB-induced compression of the pancreas at its tail or body was the likely cause of pancreatitis in our case. This case was reported because it is the first one from our city as far as we know. A few cases from Saudi Arabia have also been reported, and reporting them will help to improve doctors\u2019 awareness of this complication, which can cause pancreatitis symptoms to be mistaken for something else because of the balloon-related effects on gastric distention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T01:09:36Z","timestamp":1678237776000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Acute pancreatitis after intragastric balloon insertion: case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6725-5532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulmajeed Ali","family":"Alkhathami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Bisha , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zuhair Babiker","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery Unit , Department of General Surgery, , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah Hospital , Department of General Surgery, , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah Mohammed A","family":"Khushayl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of Bisha , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faiz","family":"Alsaffar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery Unit , Department of General Surgery, , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah Hospital , Department of General Surgery, , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah M","family":"Alshahrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Bisha , Bisha , Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051307402019400_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab139","article-title":"Acute pancreatitis as a late complication of intra-gastric balloon insertion","volume":"2021","author":"Abdulghaffar","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2023051307402019400_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e33","DOI":"10.1016\/j.soard.2015.12.015","article-title":"Pancreatitis and intragastric balloon insertion","volume":"12","author":"Said","year":"2016","journal-title":"Surg Obes Relat Dis"},{"key":"2023051307402019400_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E122","DOI":"10.1055\/a-0809-4994","article-title":"Life-threatening visceral complications after intragastric balloon insertion: is the device, the patient or the doctor to blame?","volume":"7","author":"Stavrou","year":"2019","journal-title":"Endoscop Intern Open"},{"key":"2023051307402019400_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.5152\/balkanmedj.2015.15312","article-title":"A case of duodenal obstruction and pancreatitis due to intragastric balloon","volume":"32","author":"\u00d6zt\u00fcrk","year":"2015","journal-title":"Balkan Med J"},{"key":"2023051307402019400_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"968","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-014-1244-8","article-title":"Is conservative management for gastric perforation secondary to intragastric balloon possible?
