Acute Pancreatitis Induced by Methimazole in a Patient with Graves' Disease

Abstract

MMI-induced acute pancreatitis is rare and easily misdiagnosed. Based on very limited experience, it should resolve after MMI is stopped. The pathogenesis of MMI-induced pancreatitis is not known. Clinicians should be aware of this entity so that MMI is promptly stopped if the features described here develop after MMI is started, and measures are taken to avoid future MMI treatment.
