More than 2 million people worldwide have died due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). The severity of the disease ranges from subclinical infections to severe illnesses requiring hospitalization. SARS-CoV-2, which is the causative agent of COVID-19 disease, mainly affects the respiratory tract, but gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur. Abdominal pain is one of the known symptoms associated with COVID-19 disease. There are a few data on the development of acute pancreatitis as a complication of severe COVID-19 infection. Some patients with COVID-19 may develop an elevated pancreatic enzyme and rarely acute pancreatitis. This situation is associated with a particularly serious clinical picture. The mechanism of pancreatic involvement in COVID-19 is not clearly understood. In this review, it was aimed to evaluate COVID-19 associated pancreatitis.
