title: [Hereditary chronic pancreatitis. Report of a case].
abstract: Childhood hereditary pancreatitis is a rare entity of uncertain etiology, characterized by recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis, abdominal pain and other unspecific symptoms. Among several therapeutic alternatives, pancreatojejunostomy is presently the treatment of choice. We report a 17 years old male with chronic hereditary pancreatitis that was treated with pancreatojejunostomy drainage.
