Childhood pancreatitis

Abstract: Inflammation of the pancreas has many presentations in children and adolescents. The etiology is often elusive, with a great number of cases being idiopathic. However, there have been a number of recent advances in the areas of cell biology, genetics and imaging technology, which should be highlighted. Herein is provided a review for the reader with particular emphasis on some of these newer advances.

“…A small number of patients have recurrent episodes of AP and are at risk of developing chronic pancreatitis (CP). Fibrosis and chronic inflammation can lead to exocrine failure and in a later stage endocrine compromise with the development of diabetes [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…However, the pancreas size is age-dependent and its echogenicity is variable; its reliability to identify pancreatitis seems to be higher in children. The US sensitivity in adults is 62-67% for acute and 50-80% for chronic pancreatitis, respectively (42). To our knowledge, in children there are no studies assessing the accuracy of US in the diagnosis of pancreatitis.…”

“…Las causas más frecuentes de PA en pediatría son el trauma, las enfermedades sistémicas, el uso de drogas, la PA idiopática y la patología biliar, incluyendo alteraciones anatómicas de la vía biliar y litiasis 2,5,6 . Existe consenso en que la PA idiopática ocupa un lugar relevante en la lista de causas (en ocasiones, primer lugar), postulándose mutaciones en genes involucrados en la secreción pancreática como una explicación plausible 7 . Otras causas menos frecuentes de PA en niños incluyen las infecciones, principalmente virales (paperas, hepatitis A, rotavirus, hepatitis E, varicela, adenovirus y coxsackie) y ocasionalmente bacterianas (Mycoplasma pneumoniae y Moraxella catarrhalis), las alteraciones del metabolismo (hipertrigliceridemia e hipercalcemia) y algunas condiciones genéticas hereditarias en las que existe pérdida de los mecanismos de protección de la acción de las enzimas pancreáticas 8 .…”
