Sumario: | Acute pancreatitis (AP) is rarely seen in the paediatric population and is typically not associated with those aetiologies seen in adult pancreatitis. This case describes a 12-year-old female who presented with acute abdominal pain and constipation, with biochemical evidence of elevated serum amylase, calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. A diagnosis of AP was made, which was settled with conservative management. Further investigations, namely CT and technetium 99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi scans, revealed a solitary parathyroid adenoma. She subsequently underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), following which Ca and PTH levels normalized postoperatively. |
