Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children is a rare condition and its etiology varies; it is mainly associated with genetic abnormalities, autoimmune pancreatitis, and obstruction. Most cases of CP have a history of acute pancreatitis. The magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is a diagnostic technique that allows noninvasive multiplanar visualization of the biliary and pancreatic ducts, and does not require contrast administration. In children with CP, the step-up management includes a limited trial of endoscopic interventions, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, followed by surgery.
