TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - A rare cause of pediatric acute pancreatitis: Perindopril intoxication JO - Turkish journal of emergency medicine A1 - Misirlioglu, M. A1 - Yildizdaş, D. A1 - Ekinci, F. A1 - Horoz, O.O. A1 - Yontem, A. SP - 199 EP - 201 VL - 20 IS - 4 N2 - Acute pancreatitis is a reversible inflammatory condition of the pancreas. It usually develops on the basis of trauma, structural abnormalities, and chronic systemic diseases. A definitive causal correlation between a drug and acute pancreatitis is quite difficult for clinicians. Drugs play a vital role in the etiology in approximately 10% of children with pancreatitis. More than 50 drugs including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been reported to cause pancreatic damage. There was no pediatric case report developed pancreatitis following perindopril use. A pediatric case of pancreatitis following perindopril intake was presented in this article to emphasize pancreatitis, which is one of the complications that may occur after drug intake. © 2020 Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine | Published by Wolters Kluwer-Medknow.
