Abstract:
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon disease observed in children; it has different etiological factors from adults. Alcohol and biliary stones are observed as the cause of pancreatitis in adults, whereas drugs, infections, trauma, and anatomical distubances are mostly observed as the cause of pancreatitis in children.
Case Report: We presented a traumatic pancreatitis case of a 13-year-old child, which occured because of a fall on a gravestone while running. He was admitted to our emergency service for abdominal pain and emesis complaints 1 day later.
Conclusion: Traumatic pancreatitis should be considered, particularly in children who are admitted to the emergency service, because of severe abdominal trauma and should be diagnosed urgently.
