Core Tip	The initial evaluation fails to detect the cause of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) in 10%–30% of patients, whose condition is classified as idiopathic RAP. Idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) is a diagnostic challenge for gastroenterologists. In view of high diagnostic accuracy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), a EUS based management strategy appears to be a reasonable approach for evaluation of patients with a single/recurrent idiopathic pancreatitis. The most common diagnoses by EUS in IAP is biliary tract disease. This review aims to discuss the role of EUS in the clinical management and diagnosis of patients with IAP.
