title: [Morphofunctional condition of the pancreas in children and teenagers with obesity and metabolic syndrome].
abstract: 30 childs and teenagers (6- 15-years-old) were examined (16 boys and 14 girls). The signs of metabolic syndrome were revealed in 13 persons (43%) (VOZ, 1999). Echogenicity of pancreatic acinar tissue was reinforced in all persons with obesity, (80%) hyperechogenic inclusions were observed in 67% of the patients. Trustworthy correlation of the pancreatic head size, pancreatic tail size and the obesity degree as well as the disease duration was demonstrated. Postprandial pancreatic reaction was reduced in the most part of the patients with obesity (77%). Postprandial pancreatic reaction was more significantly reduced in the children with obesity and metabolic syndrome than in the children with obesity, who hasn't the signs of metabolic syndrome (15,3% and 7,5%). So, it is necessary the special examination of the children with obesity to reveal chronic pancreatitis.
