Acute pancreatitis in hand, foot and mouth disease caused by Coxsackievirus A16: case report
Byungsung Park, Hyuckjin Kwon, Kwanseop Lee, Minjae Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2017;60(10):333-336.   Published online October 20, 2017

Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), which primarily causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), is associated with complications, such as encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, myocarditis, pericarditis, and shock. However, no case of pancreatitis associated with CA16 has been reported in children. We report a case of CA16-associated acute pancreatitis in a 3-year-old girl with HFMD. She was admitted because of poor oral...

Two cases of chronic pancreatitis associated with anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union and SPINK1 mutation
Eun Sam Rho, Earl Kim, Hong Koh, Han-Wook Yoo, Beom Hee Lee, Gu-Hwan Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(5):227-230.   Published online May 28, 2013

Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease resulting from repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis that impair exocrine function and eventually produce endocrine insufficiency. Some causes of chronic pancreatitis appear to be associated with alterations in the serine-protease inhibitor, Kazal type 1 (SPINK1), cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1), and cystic fibrosis-transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genes, or with structural disorders in the pancreaticobiliary ductal...

Macroamylasemia in a 4-year-old girl with abdominal pain
Jeong Hee Ko, Dae Hyoung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(11):1283-1285.   Published online November 15, 2009
Macroamylasemia is a benign condition characterized by abnormally large-sized serum amylase; it has been reported to occur in 1–2% of the population. In macroamylasemia, a macromolecular complex consisting of amylase linked to immunoglobulins circulates in the plasma and usually causes hyperamylasemia with low or normal amylasuria. Macroamylasemia is extremely rare in children. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl...
A case of hereditary pancreatitis with a N29I mutation in the cationic trypsinogen gene
Jee Youn Shin, Dae Sung Oh, Jeong Min Rheu, Jeong Ok Shim, Ji Sook Park, Jae Sung Ko, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(10):1111-1115.   Published online October 15, 2006
Hereditary pancreatitis is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by recurrent episodes of pancreatitis, often beginning in childhood, with a positive family history involving at least two other affected family members with no known other precipitating factors. Most forms of hereditary pancreatitis are caused by one of two common mutations, i.e., R122H in exon 3 and N29I in exon 2 of...
A Case of Acute Pancreatitis in a Neuroblastoma Patient after Retinoic Acid Therapy
Yoo Jin Jeong, Yeon Kyong Seo, Heung Sik Kim, Hee Jung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(11):1128-1130.   Published online November 15, 2003
Retinoic acid has been used successfully as a differentiating agent in acute promyelocytic leukemia and neuroblastoma. However, some adverse effects have been recognized, such as headaches, dry skin and retinoic acid syndrome, a life threatening acute cardiorespiratory disorder. Acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia has rarely been reported. We experienced a case of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia in a neuroblastoma patient after...

A Case of Pancreatitis associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Su Eun Park, Ju Suk Lee, Sang Ook Park, Jae Hong Park, Su Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(7):989-993.   Published online July 15, 1998
Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), an autoimmune disease with multisystemic involvement, has been reported to be associated with a number of gastrointestinal complications. But pancreatitis is an unusual complication of SLE, occuring in only 3-4% of lupus cohort. Multiple mechanisms contributing to pancreatitis associated with SLE have been demonstrated which include vasculitis, necrotizing pancreatitis, corticosteroid administration, and vascular thrombosis. We experienced a...

A Case of Crohn's Disease Diagnosed After Appendectomy
Hee Yeoun Kim, Hae Jin Lee, Hae Sun Kim, Jeong Wan Seo, Woon Sup Han, Sun Wha Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):562-567.   Published online April 15, 1998
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal system and multiple extraintestinal organs. Right lower quadrant abdominal pain with fever may be mistaken as a acute appendicitis. Pancreatitis has rarely been reported as a complication of Crohn’s disease. However, we experienced one case of Crohn’s disease with pancreatitis : the histologic examination after appendectomy of a 12-year-old...
A Case of Choledochal Cyst with Anomalous Pancreaticobiliary Ductal Union
Je Woo Kim, Hyun Chul Bae, Ki Sup Chung, Seok Joo Han, Eui Ho Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(7):1010-1014.   Published online July 15, 1997
Choledochal cysts are congenital or acquired lesions of the biliary tree with a cystic dilatation of the bile duct. We experienced a choledochal cyst accompanying acute pancreatitis caused by anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union(APBDU) in a 2 year old boy. The choledochal cyst associated with APBDU is rarely encountered in the clinical field, and thus we report this case with the presentation of abdominal ultrasonogram, computed...
A Case Report of Autoimmune Hepatitis Associated with Choledochal Cyst and Pancreatitis
Kyung Ran Park, Sun Young Lee, Soon Young Kim, Hyoung Shim Chang, Nam Su Back, Chong Jai Kim, Joong Gon Kim, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(8):1146-1150.   Published online August 15, 1996
Autoimmune hepatitis in children is a rare and severe inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, and progress to cirrohosis and liver failure, generally is responsive to immunosuppressive therapy. It is more prevalent in women than men, and characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies, a high serum globulin. Extrahepatic manifestations such as thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, glomerulonephritis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, are associated. We report, to our...

Evaluation of Severity of Childhood Pancreatitis with Multiple Factor Scoring Systems
Young In Choi, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(12):1653-1663.   Published online December 15, 1995
Purpose : Pancreatitis in children is not common but can be associated with severe morbidity rates. Early prognostic evaluation of acute pancreatitis assists in selecting those patients who should be closely monitored. We studied the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in patients with acute pancreatitis. Methods : Twenty five children with pancreatitis were included ranging in age from 1.8 to 14.9...

A Case of Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Stones in Childhood
Young Kyoo Shin, Chan Wook Woo, Kee Hyoung Lee, Young Chang Tockgo, Chang Duck Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(7):1012-1017.   Published online July 15, 1995
Chronic pancreatitis is a rare problem in childhood and sometimes shows pancreatic calcif-ication. The most common symptom is chronic recurrent upper abdominal pain, with waves of crampy pain that increase in severity, with or without associated nausea or vomiting. Although the diagnosis is made or considered infrequently hereditary or other metabolic factors, the cau-se remains largely idiopathic. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)...
A Case of Chronic Pancreatitis Complicated by Hemobilia
Sang Ook Nam, Jeong Kee Seo, Je Geun Chi, Kyung Mo Yeon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(3):422-427.   Published online March 15, 1995
Hemobilia caused by pancreatic disease is very rare. The most common cause is a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm caused by acute and chronic inflammation of the pancreas. We experienced a case regarding as hemobilia as a complication of chronic relapsing pancreatitis in a 14 year-old boy. He was admitted with chief complaints of abdominal pain and hematemesis. Two years prior to admission,...

A Case of Chronic Relepsing Pancreatitis with Calcification in Childhood.
Yo Han Kim, Min Sik Kim, Moo Young Song, Eun Ryoung Kim, Jong Duk Lee, Soon Jai Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(3):398-403.   Published online March 31, 1990
A 9-vear-old girl presented with recurrent abdominal pain. Investigations failed to show any of the demonstrable causes of pancreatitis, but she was found to have pancreatic calcifications with the help of the plain abdominal x-ray, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal C—T scan. Pancreatic calcifications are virtually pathognomonic of chronic pancreatitis. We report this case and review related literatures briefly.
