Abstract

Pancreatitis is considered generally to be an unusual condition during infancy and childhood, but it may be more common in childhood than previously suspected. A case of acute pancreatitis in a 12-5/12 years-old boy is reported with related literatures. Comparative value of serum and urinary amylase was also studied to evaluate the clinical course in this case.
