[Pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocysts in children: a 12-year review].

Pancreatitis in children is uncommon, but can be associated with severe morbidity rates. Eleven patients (14 months to 9.5 years of age) with acute pancreatitis and one patient with chronic idiopathic pancreatitis beginning the second year of life, were treated over a 11-year period. Half of them had history of blunt abdominal trauma. The most frequent clinical presentations included abdominal pain and vomiting. Diagnosis of pancreatic injury was suggested by hypera-amylasemia, being the computerized tomography scan the most useful radiologic investigation. Medical treatment consisted of intravenous fluids, nasogastric suction and total parenteral nutrition. One third of the patients developed pancreatic pseudocysts (4); spontaneous resolution after observation and conservative therapy occurred in two and the others were treated by surgery. Ranson and Imrie scores can help predicting the severity of this disease in children; three of four pancreatic pseudocysts were judged to have severe pancreatitis by this criteria.

[Neonatal tumors].

We review the cases of congenital and neonatal tumors treated at the Children's Hospital La Fe, Valencia. A total of 25 cases of neonatal benign tumors and 27 cases of malignant tumors were diagnosed. The most frequent benign tumor was solid teratoma (12 cases). The most frequent malignant tumor was neuroblastoma (14 cases). Variations in histology, clinical evolution and therapy in relation to age are described. The results obtained are compared with those previously published.

[Treatment of portal hypertension in children].

Esophageal transection by means of an anastomotic clip or button is a simple and useful approach to the management of haemorrhage due to esophageal varices. We have used this technique in four cases (three Prioton clips, and one autosuture) and completed the procedure with periesophageal, left gastric and fundal veins ligation. The patients have been followed up for periods ranging between five months and six years. No one has rebled. Splenoportographic controls showed good results of disconnection, and endoscopic follow up revealed variceal cure. There was no GER and in one single case we had to dilate for mild stenosis. This is a simple and effective procedure for the control of variceal haemorrhage in the short and middle ranges, and can induce cure directing portal flow through other alternative ways.
