Abstract
The article presents the case study of a 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis and chronic pancreatitis. The patient was admitted to a hospital because of vomiting and abdominal pain. The boy was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at the age of three years by colonoscopic examination after a barium-enema examination had revealed no abnormalities. In subsequent years, progression of the disease was well controlled with the administration of mesalamine and short courses of an adrenocorticosteroid medication for flares. The initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic analysis revealed a normal-appearing pancreatic duct.
