    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Hepatology
    • Pancreatology

    Background:

    • Recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis in children presents diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Congenital anomalies, such as choledochal cysts and pancreas divisum, are potential contributing factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of pediatric pancreatitis.
    • To identify potential associations and etiological factors in childhood pancreatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 25 children with non-traumatic relapsing pancreatitis.
    • Follow-up duration ranged from five months to seven years.
    • Analysis of congenital anomalies, family history, and diabetes association.

    Main Results:

    • Seven children had congenital anomalies, including two with choledochal cysts and four with pancreas divisum.
    • Management strategies mirrored adult protocols.
    • Six patients required surgical intervention, and three underwent percutaneous pseudocyst drainage.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric pancreatitis management can be adapted from adult guidelines.
    • Congenital anomalies are significant in some pediatric pancreatitis cases.
    • Overall outcomes for childhood pancreatitis are generally favorable.
