Abstract:
Pancreatitis is a rare pathology in infant, but pancreatic pseudocyst associated with ascus is even the more uncommon complication. Its diagnosis is based on clinical signs, blood and peritoneal fluid biochemical examinations, especially on ultrasound. CT scanning plays an important role for diagnosis and treatment. Internal therapeutics give very good success in recompensation of liquids and electrolites, in pain relief and in maintaining pancreatic function. Surgery must be indicated once internal therapeutics give no success or in case of chronic pseudocyst, especially in case when the cyst has got a larger dimension than 10cm because of the risk of rupture
