title: [Recurrent pancreatitis in pediatric ulcerative colitis--a case report].
abstract: We report on a 12 years old girl with ulcerative colitis, who after a two years course of her disease developed a concomitant idiopathic pancreatitis. We discuss the causes of acute pancreatitis in childhood in view of the presented case summarizing the current literature. In the literature we found only two other children with ulcerative colitis and idiopathic pancreatitis. Both patients were colectomised as our patient did. Six months after colectomy she is still free of symptoms.
