Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a standard treatment method used for the treatment
of renal calculi and upper ureteral calculi. Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition which develops
due to multiple etiologic factors and is characterized by autodigestion of the pancreas. A case of
acute pancreatitis which developed following ESWL performed for right renal calculi treatment is
presented here.
