Sammanfattning
Acute pancreatitis is uncommon in children and the spectrum of etiologies is broader than in adults. Here we describe a case of acute, severe gallstone pancreatitis in an obese, 13-year-old girl presenting with upper abdominal pain and markedly elevated levels of amylase and transaminases. Abdominal ultrasound showed cholelithiasis and dilation of the common bile duct; and an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with papillotomy was performed. The girl was discharged for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
