Disappearance of recurrent pancreatitis after splenectomy in familial chylomicronemia syndrome 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Background and aims: Recurrent pancreatitis is a severe complication of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) mainly secondary to lipoprotein lipase deficiency. The mechanism and interindividual variability of pancreatitis in FCS are not fully understood, but abnormalities in the drainage system of pancreatic veins could be involved. Methods and results: Two cases of typical FCS are described with a past history of recurrent pancreatitis that dramatically improved after splenectomy performed in both cases for reasons non-related to FCS. Conclusions: 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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-ERDF/CIBERCV-CB16-11-00451 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/IIS16-0114 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PIE16-00022 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/FIS/PI15-01983 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 4.255 2018 PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE 12 / 65 = 0.185 2018 Q1 T1 CARDIAC & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS 37 / 136 = 0.272 2018 Q2 T1 1.748 2018 Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Lamiquiz-Moneo, I.
