HOYOS FRANCO, MARCO ANTONIO; HERRERA MONTOYA, JOSÉ OVIDIO  and  PATARROYO SERRANO, JAIRO ALBERTO. Acute pancreatitis as a postburn complication: report of two cases in children. Iatreia [online]. 2007, vol.20, n.2, pp.196-202. ISSN 0121-0793.

Acute pancreatitis in burnt adults has been reported with some frequency; contrariwise, there has been only one report of this complication in a burnt child. We reviewed the medical records of two children with acute pancreatitis as a postburn complication, who were treated at the Burns Unit of the San Vicente de Paúl Hospital, in Medellín, Colombia. As a result, we add two documented cases to the limited literature on this subject.

Keywords : ACUTE PANCREATITIS; PANCREATITIS IN CHILDREN; POST BURN PANCREATITIS.
