Acute pancreatitis in childhood.
نویسنده
چکیده
Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis in childhood is an uncommon disease, so that, although the signs and symptoms are as typical as in the adult when it does occur, it is usually undiagnosed pre-operatively as the possibility has not been included in the differential diagnosis. When Dobbs (1935) reported a case he found only 14 previous cases in the world literature. Ger (1954) and Boss (1955) have each described one further case. It is intended therefore to record two further cases and summarize the available information regarding diagnosis, aetiology and treatment.
