Posttest Questions
All of the following may be used as part of criteria to make a diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis in a child EXCEPT:
A 5 year old child with seizure disorder presents with vomiting and abdominal tenderness.  Lipase values are 6x upper limits of normal. Medications include valproic acid and melatonin. There is no history of trauma nor fever. Family history is unremarkable. The child is stable.  Laboratory tests reveal normal CBC, liver enzymes, triglycerides, calcium values.  Abdominal ultrasound reveals a mildly prominent pancreas without any signs of chronicity; the liver, gallbladder and biliary tree are all within normal limits.  What would be your next step?
All of the following genes have been implicated in ARP and/ or CP EXCEPT:
Which of the following would NOT generally be considered "baseline" or "first line" investigations in an 8 year old child presenting with first attack of acute pancreatitis, mild severity, without obvious etiology nor family history?
A 12-year old girl presents to the ED with acute pancreatitis.  After assessing her as having a moderately severe case of acute pancreatitis, you decide to admit her to GI service.  The first 24 hours focus on fluid resuscitation, and she does well.  Remembering a recent presentation you heard on medical and nutritional management of pancreatitis, you decide the recommended NEXT STEP in management is:
The best available evidence to support early enteral feedings in the setting of acute pancreatitis include all the following outcomes EXCEPT:
Your patient follows-up in the clinic after her discharge and wants to discuss how to prevent further episodes of pancreatitis. You recommend all the following as options EXCEPT:
Potential complications of chronic, recurrent pancreatitis includes chronic pain syndrome. Patients presenting with chronic, recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pain need to be particularly screened for:
A 14 year old female has had her second episode of acute pancreatitis. Her evaluation to date has shown a normal abdominal ultrasound, normal triglyceride and calcium, a negative sweat chloride test and no evidence for infectious, metabolic or drug induced pancreatitis. You have decided to perform further imaging as part of the evaluation. The best option in this setting would be:
The MRCP in the above mentioned patient is normal with a normal biliary tree and pancreatic duct. She has had another episode and is looking for further options. Repeat laboratory evaluation demonstrates no causes. Genetic testing has not shown a mutation in CFTR, SPINK1 or PRSS. In considering the further endoscopic options for her in this scenario, which procedure has the highest likelihood of finding a cause for her recurrent pancreatitis?
ERCP with SOD manometry is performed and pancreatic ductal hypertension is found. Which of the following has highest success rate in reducing episodes of pancreatitis
A 12 year old boy with chronic pancreatitis due to PRSS mutation (hereditary pancreatitis) has had multiple episodes of pancreatitis and has been hospitalized 5 times in the last year. He has failed endoscopic treatments and is on chronic pain medications and has missed 25% of the school days in the last year. In considering surgical options of this boy, which statement is true.
