Abstract
We report a case of renal artery stenosis most probably secondary to chronic pancreatitis. The patient had a traumatic pancreatic fistula. This was followed by numerous attacks of pancreatitis in the following years. At a relatively young age, he developed hypertension. Examinations revealed a right renal artery stenosis which was successfully treated by a percutaneous angioplasty. This rare complication should be kept in mind as a possible complication of pancreatitis.
