Pediatric Pancreatic Disease

A focused review of pediatric pancreatic disorders spanning acute, acute recurrent, and chronic pancreatitis, hereditary and genetic predisposition, cystic fibrosis-related pancreatic insufficiency, congenital anomalies, exocrine insufficiency, pseudocysts, autoimmune pancreatitis, and nutritional management, mapped to the SCFHS Pediatric GI fellowship written-exam Pancreas blueprint.

Learning Objectives

Apply the NASPGHAN diagnostic criteria to diagnose acute pancreatitis in children and recognize age-specific etiologies

Assess disease severity and implement evidence-based initial management, including aggressive fluid resuscitation and early enteral feeding

Classify acute recurrent and chronic pancreatitis using the INSPPIRE consortium framework and identify genetic predisposition (PRSS1, SPINK1, CFTR, CTRC)

Counsel families on hereditary pancreatitis, genetic testing implications, and pancreatic cancer risk surveillance

Manage cystic fibrosis-related exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, including PERT dosing, fat-soluble vitamin monitoring, and CFRD screening

Recognize congenital pancreatic anomalies, pseudocysts/walled-off necrosis, and autoimmune pancreatitis, and outline appropriate management approaches
