“…In the pediatric population abdominal MRI with MRCP is the preferred modality for pancreatic evaluation to depict pancreaticobiliary malformations and complications like pseudocyst, necrosis, hemorrhage, vascular thrombosis, vascular pseudoaneurysm, abscess, and pancreaticopleural fistula [24]. In our series all patients received MRCP before genetic testing had been performed.…”

“…On MRI, PCs are detected by T2-weighted sequences without fat saturation as bright fluid signal intensity. When contrast-enhanced MRI is used, the rim of the PC can be evaluated for thickening and enhancement, which suggests superimposed infection [ 10 ]. Anatomically, most extrapancreatic PCs were located in the body and tail region, whereas most intrapancreatic PCs were in the head of the pancreas [ 11 ].…”

We report a 7-year-old Taiwanese girl with acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated with pseudocyst (PC). The girl was found to have a PC by ultrasonograpgy (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging 14 days after the onset of AP. The girl was discharged 21 days after management with an asymptomatic PC. The diagnostic criteria of AP included abdominal pain, serum amylase or lipase level, and imaging findings. Transabdominal USG after appropriate preparation with adequate fasting, intake of some liquids during the scanning, and right decubitus position enhance the demonstration of pancreas and peripancreatic structures. PC could be seen in up to 38% of pediatric AP patients. It can form within 2 weeks after the onset of symptoms, although most are late complications. Pancreatic PCs have to be differentiated from other intra-abdominal cysts on USG according to their image character and anatomic location. A well-prepared USG examination in combination with liquid intake and right decubitus position is of value in the diagnosis and follow-up of PC.Abbreviations: ANC, acute necrotic collection; AP, acute pancreatitis; APFC, acute peripancreatic fluid collection; CECT, contrast-enhanced computed tomography; CRP, C-reactive protein; CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PAP, pediatric acute pancreatitis; PC, pseudocyst; USG, ultrasonography.

“…28,29 The main disadvantages of CECT in the pediatric population are difficulty in evaluating the ductal anatomy and radiation exposure. 30,31 Regarding the concern over radiation exposure, CECT is only recommended when the patient's clinical condition deteriorates or is persistently severe. 25…”

Pancreatitis in children has become more recognized over the past decade. Recent studies published by the INSPPIRE (INternational Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In Search for a CuRE) Group categorizes pediatric pancreatitis according to various etiologies and clinical course of disease in acute pancreatitis (AP), acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis. Imaging modalities help fulfill the diagnosis of AP in cases of atypical clinical context, while imaging also completes the major diagnostic criteria in CP. Ultrasound is the modality of choice to evaluate children with AP. Computed tomography should be reserved to assess the severity of complicated AP, or in the acute traumatic setting due to radiation concerns in children. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is used for the evaluation of underlying pancreaticobiliary structural abnormalities and for diagnosing CP. The etiologies of pediatric pancreatitis are diverse and unique including biliary stones, pancreaticobiliary structural abnormalities, genetic mutationrelated, drugs, trauma, systemic diseases and autoimmune-related cause. This article provides a pictorial review of the imaging modalities and findings related to the clinical course and etiologies of pediatric pancreatitis (AP, ARP and CP).
