Abstract
Pancreatitis secondary to organophosphate insecticide toxicity is rare and is believed to follow a subclinical and uneventful course. We report two cases of severe acute pancreatitis complicated by pancreatic necrosis and retroperitoneal sepsis in which the diagnosis was obscured by the systemic effects of organophosphate toxicity. Awareness of this complication should prompt earlier investigation because early diagnosis coupled with timely therapeutic measures may improve patient prognosis.Entities:
