    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Hepatology
    • Surgical Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Acute pancreatitis in children presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Etiologies are diverse, including trauma, viral infections, and idiopathic causes.
    • Historical management often involved invasive procedures with potential for misdiagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management and outcomes of pediatric acute pancreatitis.
    • To identify challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
    • To highlight advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 29 pediatric acute pancreatitis cases (1971-1983).
    • Analysis of etiology, diagnostic methods, complications, and treatment strategies.
    • Evaluation of the impact of new technologies like ERCP and ultrasonography.

    Main Results:

    • Common etiologies included idiopathic (13), trauma (5), and mumps (5).
    • Diagnostic difficulties led to 7 unnecessary laparotomies; one case had coexisting appendicitis.
    • Morbidity included relapses (7) and pseudocysts (3).

    Conclusions:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy with ERCP and ultrasonography enhanced patient care.
    • Total parenteral nutrition became crucial for severe or prolonged cases.
    • Advances in imaging and nutritional support refined pediatric acute pancreatitis management.
