Abstract
These are the first reports of the disappearance of pancreatitis after splenectomy in FCS and they should be considered of anecdotal nature at this time. The disappearance of pancreatitis following splenectomy could be in part due to subsequent improvements in pancreatic drainage. Extrahepatic portal hypertension induced by hypertriglyceridemic splenomegaly leading to pancreatic congestion could also be a contributing factor.
