Özet

Chronic pancreatitis is a rare disease in children and is usually secondary to underlying diseases such as hereditary pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, hyperlipidemia, prolonged malnutrition, gallstones or anomalies of the biliary-pancreatic duct system. Hereditary pancreatitis is a common cause of chronic pancreatitis in children but is often unrecognized until months or years later. We report hen a family with hereditary pancreatitis in which four members are affected.
