Acute Pancreatitis Case Presented with Epileptic Seizure

Acute pancreatitis is defined as an acute non-bacterial inflammatory condition of the pancreas. A 53-year-old female was admitted to our emergency service after the first episode of a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Her past medical history was unremarkable. The initial laboratory findings showed a low serum calcium level (5.8 mg/dL, normal value 8.8-10.2 mg/dL), high amylase-802 U/L and lipase-489 U/L levels. Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) showed pancreatic edema and inflammation suggestive of acute pancreatitis. This case report demonstrates a rare but important differential diagnosis for generalized tonic-clonic seizures of adult onset.
