Pancreatitis is a common but under‐reported complication of treatment with sodium valproate, a drug frequently prescribed for people with intellectual disabilities. The present authors report a case of valproate‐induced pancreatitis in a man with profound intellectual disability and review the relevant literature. The wider implications of problems experienced with diagnosis are discussed, emphasizing difficulties in recognizing pain and physical illness in this client group.
