OBJECTIVE: @entity788 is a rare cause of @entity490 in childhood. Advances in imaging techniques for @entity660 have enabled earlier clinical and etiological diagnosis, thus improving treatment possibilities. The aim of this study was to analyze the etiology, diagnostic methods, and management in @entity1 with @entity788 diagnosed in our hospital in the last 10 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed the @entity1 aged 0-16 years with a diagnosis of @entity788 admitted to our hospital between 1990 and 2000. Diagnostic criteria were symptoms suggestive of @entity788 and @entity12828 . RESULTS: There were 8 females and 1 male. The median age was 11.5 years (range: 7-16 years). Laboratory findings were as follows: mean amylase level was 1601 U/l and mean lipase level was 506 U/l. Imaging tests: ultrasonography, abdominal computed tomography (CT), and @entity10747 ( @entity10747 ) were performed in 1 @entity1 , and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was performed in 2. Etiology was @entity2963 (2 @entity1 ), secondary to anti-oncological therapy (3 @entity1 ), @entity1007 (1 @entity1 ), and idiopathic (3 @entity1 ). Medical treatment consisted of diet, @entity1337 , and octreotide in 1 patient, and antioxidants in 1 @entity1 . Surgery was required in 2 @entity1 . Complications consisted of @entity9007 @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of childhood @entity788 is low. In our series, mainly teenage @entity1 were affected. The main causes were @entity137 . Diagnosis was given by elevated amylase and lipase levels in blood and by imaging tests (ultrasonography, abdominal CT, @entity10747 , MRCP, depending on the @entity1 ). Basic treatment consisted of support measures (fasting and @entity1337 ) together with @entity2390 , antioxidants or surgical treatment, depending on etiology.
