RESUMEN
Tras revisar la bibliografía existente en los últimos 20 años se aprecia un déficit de información sobre los conflictos éticos que afectan a los pediatras en su práctica diaria lo que provoca cierto grado de incertidumbre en estos profesionales a la hora de resolver estos problemas. Por este motivo se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las principales bases de datos encontrando más de 150 artículos relacionados con este asunto, de los que se seleccionaron 80 considerados como los más relevantes. Tras estudiarlos, se encontraron 40 dilemas éticos relacionados con algún principio de solución y que se describen en este artículo. Entre ellos destacan algunos dilemas éticos relacionados con incapacidades, o con cuidados paliativos en medicina infantil, o el dilema del consentimiento informado en este rango de edad
