[A case of post-traumatic pancreatitis].

The authors present a case of a 16-year-old female patient with acute pancreatitis, being a complication of blunt abdominal trauma. This case is considered as interesting in view of the aetiology, rarely taken into account in clinical differentiation. A review is also done of the literature on this subject which suggests the possibility of such aetiology in 20% of cases of acute pancreatitis in children and youths.

Abdominal Injuries

[A case of Munchausen syndrome].

A case is described of the Munchhausen's syndrome in a 35-year-old female patient. The patient was hospitalised 17 times and had six laparotomies for suspected peritonitis. Besides that venesection and lymphography were done. The patient malingered also insulin-dependent diabetes, fever, and haematuria. Since she worked as a housemaid for a doctor she had access to textbooks and professional literature. In the paper more modern aspects of the Munchhausen's syndrome are also discussed e.g. the Munchhausen's syndrome "by proxy".
