Abstract

During childhood, abdominal pain is a frequently encountered symptom, there are several diseases that should be considered in differential diagnosis. Acute pancreatitis is also an important cause of acute abdominal pain in both adulthood and in childhood. Because it is less likely to occur during childhood, acute pancreatitis, which is an important cause of mortality, can be overlooked in differential diagnosis. This patient who was thought to have different diseases in different health centers, was eventually diagnosed as acut pancreatitis and presented as a case to emphasize the clinic and diagnosis of acut pancreatitis.

Özet

Çocukluk çağında karın ağrısı çok sık karşılaşılan yakınmalerden biri olup etyolojisinde bir çok hastalık ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmektedir. Akut pankreatit de gerek erişkinde gerekse çocukluk çağında önemli akut karın ağrısı nedenlerinden biridir. Ancak çocukluk çağında görülme sıklığının diğer nedenlere göre göreceli olarak daha az olması nedeniyle önemli bir mortalite nedeni olabilecek olan akut pankreatit ayırıcı tanıda geri planda yer alabilmektedir. Akut karın ağrısı nedeniyle farklı sağlık kuruluşlarında farklı tanılar düşünülen ve akut pankreatit tanısı alan olgu, çocukluk çağında akut pankreatit kliniğine ve tanısına vurgu yapmak amacı ile sunulmuştur.
