ResumoA 17–year‐old female with glycogen storage disease type I (GSD‐I) died suddenly with hemorrhagic pancreatitis. She had a long‐standing history of hyperlipidemia that did not respond to a regimen of frequent daytime and nocturnal intragastric feeding. Although pancreatitis is a well‐known complication of hyperlipidemia, there are no reports to our knowledge of pancreatitis causing sudden death in patients with GSD‐I. Pancreatitis must be added to the growing list of complications that can occur in long‐term survivors with GSD‐I, and should be considered when these patients present with abdominal pain.
