ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A case of chronic relapsing pancreatitis presenting in an 8-year old African Jamaican girl is outlined. Aggressive supportive management failed to control pain and vomitting. The Puestow Procedure effectively aborted these symptoms. The use of the Puestow procedure should not be inordinately delayed in chronic relapsing pancreatitis if symptoms persist, since it may not only control pain but also halt declining pancreatic function.(Au)
