ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to analyse the prevalence, risk factors and need for intervention in a sample of Indian children with choledochal cyst (CDC) complicated by pancreatitis with a special focus on chronic pancreatitis. A retrospective review of medical records of children admitted with CDC over 11 years was done and pancreatitis identified using INSPPIRE guidelines. Children were divided into two groups-one having choledochal cyst alone and the other choledochal cyst along with pancreatitis to determine associated risk factors. 40.2% of children with CDC had pancreatitis based on elevation of enzymes or radiological imaging. Age, total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin, requirement of intervention was significantly higher in the group with pancreatitis. 47% of those with radiological features of pancreatitis had imaging features of chronic pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis has not been reported previously in children with CDC and maybe peculiar to the Indian subcontinent.
