proximity rather than mucosal content[51]. Duplication cysts within the pancreas have been reported and are generally termed as duodenal or gastric duplications since they lack a contiguous structure (Fig.20.3a, b)[59]. Although most enteric duplications do not present with pancreatitis, multiple cases have been identified[65,66]. Duodenal duplication occurs in 10% or fewer cases and may cause “obstructive pancreatitis” from compression between the duodenal wall and the biliopancreatic duct[67,68]. Juxta- pancreatic duplications with pancre­atic ductal communication may shed blood or mucous into the main pancreatic duct resulting in obstruc­tion[69–71]. Pancreatitis may occur within the duplica­tion itself, as is found in esophageal duplications containing gastric mucosa and pancreatic tissue (43%)[72]. Local resection is preferred; however, mar­supialization of cysts with removal of mucosa, either surgical or endoscopic, may be employed if local resec­tion is not possible[73,74].

Conclusions
Infrequently, congenital anomalies may be the cause of idiopathic acute pancreatitis. Nonanatomic congenital causes must be assessed by diligent investigation. Regarding anatomic congenital anomalies, strict defini­tion of the anatomic relationships and associated anom­alies is necessary to direct appropriate therapy. Because congenital anomalies are often unique, unusual anatomic relationships may be discovered in each case. Previous case series in the literature provide useful longitudinal data to help in predicting outcomes and avoiding known pitfalls.

Introduction
The Second International Symposium in Marseilles in 1984 defined acute pancreatitis (AP) as acute abdominal pain accompanied by the finding of increased pancre­atic enzymes in blood or urine[1]. However, the patho­physiology of acute pancreatic inflammation has remained difficult to describe, partly due to the relative inaccessibility of the pancreas on physical examination, and to the frequently nonspecific nature of symptoms resulting from diseases of the pancreas. Despite these difficulties, understanding of adult pancreatitis has increased in an exponential manner in recent decades. Unfortunately, the understanding of the pediatric coun­terpart has lagged, although much progress has been made in recent years.
Pediatric AP poses a challenge to clinicians. Depending on the age and developmental level of a child, it can be extremely difficult to assess the nonspecific symptoms of abdominal pain and nausea or vomiting. Defining the location and nature of the pain and identifying factors that aggravate or alleviate the pain can be particularly challenging in a pediatric patient. Compounding this challenge is that many healthcare professionals still do not consider pancreatitis in the differential diagnosis of pediatric abdominal pathology. Hence, children may experience symptoms from pancreatic inflammation and be diagnosed with “viral gastroenteritis.” For all these reasons, unraveling the complexities of pediatric AP remains an ongoing process.
The challenges in pediatric AP lie in three major areas:
potential etiologies, many of which are more particu-
lar to children;
diagnosis, including serum biochemistry and imaging
techniques;
assessing and following for disease severity and
complications.
This chapter will strive to cover these areas as they per­tain to pediatric AP.
Incidence
The prevailing impression amongst pediatric specialists is that the incidence of pediatric acute AP is increasing. A number of population- based series have attempted to quantify the incidence of AP[2–13]. These studies sug­gest that the incidence of AP in children has truly increased over the past several decades. Since the initial study by Lopez showing a steady increase in the absolute number of cases of AP per year in a single institution, a number of other centers throughout the world have reported similar observations [2] (Table21.1). An esti­mate of incidence ranged from 1 to 3 cases per 10,000 children. Proposed explanations for the increasing diag­nosis of AP in children include increased awareness that AP occurs in children, a true rise in new cases of pediat­ric AP, increased referral of children to tertiary care cent­ers, and an increase of AP in children with other systemic diseases[2,12,13]. Likely, a combination of these events explains the increased incidence.
Etiology
An adult presenting with a first episode of AP is ques­tioned and investigated to identify the presence of one of two major etiologies for adult AP: biliary disease and

alcohol ingestion. These, in fact, appear to account for most cases of AP in adults. In children, by contrast, the etiologies of AP are more broadly divided (Table21.2). Figure21.1 summarizes the breakdown of presumed eti­ologies based on previously published series from multi­ple countries. In general, the largest categories are divided up amongst idiopathic (24%), trauma (17%), systemic (15%), structural (14%), and medications (10%). A recent single- center study suggested that drug- induced pancre­atitis is the leading known cause of AP [14]. The same center also reported that first attack of pancreatitis was
associated with genetic risk factors in 18% of patients[14]. Since genetic testing is not often done with the initial epi­sode of AP, many studies may underestimate the role of genetic variants. The various risk factors may act alone or jointly to lead to a clinical episode of AP[15].
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of pediatric AP is believed to be identical to that of adult AP.

Investigations
A great diversity of potential etiologies of AP is demon­strated in Table21.2. Clinical finesse is involved in deter­mining which causes should be considered for each child presenting with a first episode of AP. Unlike many pediatric diseases, the etiology of AP does not vary significantly among individual age groups[16–18]. A stepwise consid­eration of probable, possible, and rare etiologies in con­junction with elicited history of present illness, past medical history, family history, and findings on physical examination will direct investigations and limit invasive and sometimes painful procedures for the pediatric patient, as well as minimize unnecessary costs. Since genetic risk factors are common in children, a thorough family history for documented pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic insufficiency including insulin-
dependent diabetes, and/or family members exhibiting symptoms that could be con­sistent with acute recurrent pancreatitis is particularly important.
Diagnosis
In 2012, an international group of pediatric gastroenter­ologists published a consensus statement defining AP in childhood[19]. The clinical diagnosis of AP requires the presence of at least two out of three criteria:
A combination of abdominal pain that is consistent
with pancreatic origin;
The presence of elevated amylase or lipase or both to
at least three times the upper limit of normal;
Radiological imaging with findings consistent with AP.
Even with these criteria, the diagnosis of AP can present challenges for the clinician. History and physical exami­nation findings are variable: there may be epigastric to right upper quadrant pain, left upper quadrant pain, back pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, tachycardia, guarding, or even signs of shock. In children under the age of three, pain may present as increased irritability, and abdominal distension and fever were more common than in older children[16]. Clinicians must maintain a high degree of suspicion, especially in younger children in whom verbal communicative skills may be limited.
A particular pediatric consideration is that newborn levels of pancreatic type isoamylase are very low to non­demonstrable, and total amylase levels reach normal adult values by only approximately 8–16 months of age [20,21]. Pancreatic isoamylase activity might not even reach adult values until the age of 10 to 15 years[22]. In a similar fashion, lipase values at birth are significantly lower than those observed for adults and appear to have
the greatest increase within the first year of life[23,24]. Hence, in a young patient, amylase and lipase levels may not always reflect potential pancreatic inflammation particularly if adult ranges of normal enzyme levels are used as references[25].
Clinical scales are utilized to classify adults as having mild or severe disease. Several different scales for chil­dren have been proposed over the years. None have been widely applied. Two recent reports suggested that BUN levels or the lipase level and the presence of a pediatric systemic inflammatory response syndrome on admis­sion were prognostic indicators for severe AP in chil­dren [14,26]. There was considerable overlap between mild and severe AP for both. It remains to be seen if either gains widespread acceptance and utilization, and thus pediatric severity indices represent an area of nec­essary research[25].
Imaging
Imaging methods may be helpful in (a) diagnosis, (b) determining severity and complications, and (c) visual­izing any anatomic factors leading to AP[27].
Transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) is widely avail­able, relatively inexpensive, and does not expose a child to radiation or contrast agent. Historically, TUS has often been the initial diagnostic modality in suspected AP. It can repeatedly be performed in almost any setting to fol­low the course of illness and does not require procedural sedation. Ultrasonography may demonstrate enlarge­ment of the pancreas, altered echogenicity, duct diameter abnormalities, and fluid collections (intra- or extrapan­creatic) [28], abnormalities of the pancreaticobiliary drainage system, including the presence of a choledochal cyst, or common bile duct stones[27]. Limitations include air within the stomach interfering with image acquisition from the body and tail of the pancreas, and differentiation of normal from abnormal pancreas in cases of pancreati­tis where echogenic changes may or may not be present. A recent study showed that TUS is only moderately sensi­tive for diagnosing AP and that cross­such as computed tomography (CT) provided higher sen­sitivity[29]. In addition, CT with contrast may be more useful in more severe cases of AP to assess for local com­plications. The main drawback to more widespread CT scan utilization is its radiation exposure.
The capability of magnetic resonance cholangiopancrea­tography (MRCP, with or without secretin) to diagnose most cases of pancreas divisum, choledochal cyst, chole­lithiasis, pancreaticobiliary junction anomalies and obstruc­tive abnormalities has decreased the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnos­tic purposes even though MRCP might not be as sensitive

as ERCP in detecting pancre atobiliary abnormalities[30,31]. Although MRCP offers imaging without radiation, there are still pediatric factors to take into consideration. Due to the relatively long duration of the procedure (15 to 45min­utes), younger children will require sedation, ranging from oral sedatives to intravenous general anesthesia and intuba­tion. Additionally, the quality of MRCP images depend on the protocol utilized for image acquisition as well as the radiologist’s interpretation of these[32].
When indicated, pediatric ERCP in experienced hands is safe and effective at all ages, although infants and young toddlers may require slimmer pediatric duodeno­scopes [33,34]. Pediatric uses include stone removal, assessment of pancreatic duct anatomy and injuries, drainage of nonresolving pancreatic pseudocysts, sphincterotomy, and stent placement. ERCP at the time of cholecystectomy is safe and effective in pediatric patients[35]. The obvious difficulties with ERCP include the need for sedation (typically general anesthesia), and the use of ionizing radiation during fluoroscopy.
Experience with pediatric EUS has increasingly been reported in recent years [36]. EUS provides detailed imaging of pancreatic parenchyma and ducts without the use of radiation, but with the need for sedation. Its bene­fits include not only its role in imaging, but also in inter­ventions, with the capacity to sample tissue and fluid collections through fine needle aspiration and biopsy, as well as accomplish drainage of fluid collections such as pseudocysts. As endoscopists increasingly become com­fortable with pediatric use of EUS, its role in diagnosis and management of AP will become better defined.
All radiological and endoscopic tests may offer com­plementary information regarding the cause or compli­cations associated with pediatric AP. Clinicians must weigh the potential benefits offered by an imaging tech­nology against the drawbacks particular to each tech­nique and decide on an algorithm for a particular patient. Typically, pediatric patients are first assessed by TUS. Subsequently, with a prolonged AP course, there may be a need for either MRCP or CT to better delineate anat­omy and to visualize potential complications. With the need for a therapeutic maneuver, both ERCP and EUS are becoming increasingly child­to date shows they are safe and effective.

Management
Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Studies published a position paper on the man­agement of pediatric AP[37]. The role of i.v. fluids in the treatment of AP has been the subject of several studies in adults and children. However, details of i.v. therapy such as volume, rate, timing, and composition of the fluid are not firmly established. In one pediatric study, fluid rates
1.5 to 2 times maintenance in the first 24 h shortened length of stay and severity of disease[38]. A second study showed that patients given lactated Ringers solution had a shorter length of stay compared to patients given normal saline [39]. Another major change in management is the recognition that early enteral feeding whether by mouth or feeding tube is safe and may improve outcome[38,40–42]. Early feeds did not increase pain or length of stay and may shorten length of stay. Additionally, patients with higher fat intake did not have higher pain scores.
Outcomes
Overall, children generally have a mild clinical course and only a small fraction have severe complications. Pseudocysts represent the most frequent complication occurring in 10–30% of cases [4,5,43]. They typically present as a persistent abdominal discomfort, abdominal mass on physical examination, continued elevation of pancreatic enzymes, or identified on follow- up imaging. Pseudocysts usually resolve spontaneously and rarely require intervention. When indicated, potential thera­peutic options include percutaneous catheter drainage (radiological placement or surgical), cyst- gastrostomy stent placement via EUS guidance, pancreatic duct stent­ing via ERCP, open surgical cyst- enteric anastomosis drainage and, perhaps, antibiotic therapy[44,45].
Despite a generally positive outcome for pediatric AP, up to 6% of children develop multiorgan failure or pan­creatic necrosis[46]. Some studies have found an asso­ciation between particular triggers of AP and serious complications. As might be predicted, it appears that children who have complex medical histories, including those experiencing AP post liver transplantation, or in the context of a systemic disease, are more susceptible to severe and potentially fatal courses[46]. Mortality data has rarely been reported in children. A database study from 2000 to 2009 of 55,012 children hospitalized with AP reported a mortality rate of about 1.0%[6].
The general measures undertaken in children with AP are similar to those in adults. In most pediatric AP cases, clin­ical improvement occurs within a few days and discharge is possible in less than a week. Several changes in manage­ment of patients with AP have occurred in recent years. In 2018, the Pancreas Committee of the North American

10–35% of children have recurrent episodes of AP[46]. Most often the second episode occurs within 5months of the first one[47]. Upon the first presentation, etiolo­gies that are amenable to therapy should be sought and if identified, managed appropriately (including hyper­calcemia, hypertriglyceridemia, biliary factors, and structural abnormalities). Any reversible cause should be eliminated whenever possible (including culprit medications). With additional attacks other investiga­tions should be considered. Secretin- stimulated MRCP may unveil anatomic abnormalities predisposing to ARP. After a second episode of AP, genetic testing for known risk variants should be done [48]. In a large multi- center study, almost half of patients with ARP had mutations in PRSS1, SPINK1, CFTR, or CTRC [49].

Since not all patients in this cohort had genetic testing or were screened for fewer than four genes, the percent­age of patients harboring gene mutations is likely higher. In the same study, 75% of patients with chronic pancrea­titis (CP) had genetic mutations. Mutational analysis is now commercially available for these genetic loci. It is anticipated that a high proportion of children with ARP and CP will have genetic predispositions eventually identified. Along with mutational analysis, a compre­hensive search for rare causes of AP is typically indi­cated[50]. As it is believed that recurrent attacks of AP may eventually lead to morphological changes of CP, prevention of further pancreatic injury is a key interven­tional goal, and identification of etiologic factors repre­sents the first step.
