ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammation of the pancreas that can be severe in the pediatric population. The main cause of this disease is cholelithiasis and the main risk factor linked to BP is genetic mutations. Diagnosis is made based on clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and diagnostic imaging. Initial treatment includes early nutrition, aggressive hydration with crystalloid solutions, and administration of analgesics, such as morphine. In some cases, endoscopic intervention may be necessary. Patients should be carefully monitored during the first 48 hours of hospitalization for any signs of complications. Patients should be carefully monitored during the first 48 hours of hospitalization for any signs of complications. After discharge, further evaluation is recommended to identify possible underlying causes and prevent future episodes of PA. After discharge, further evaluation is recommended to identify possible underlying causes and prevent future episodes of PA. In general, adequate and timely management can prevent serious complications and improve the prognosis of AP in the pediatric population, however, there are cases where pseudocysts, pancreatic necrosis and abscesses are observed as sequelae of this disease.REFERENCES
