A Lerner et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

The main congenital anomalies of the exocrine pancreas are reviewed, and several generalized and isolated hereditary pancreatic diseases are discussed. In contrast with adults, the most frequent causes of acute pancreatitis are viral infection, drug induction, and trauma. The dissimilarities between pediatric and acute and chronic pancreatitis are emphasized.
