Saeed W, Standish-Parkin L, Gupta N and Mendez M

Drug induced pancreatitis (DIP) is a rare cause of acute pancreatitis in childhood. The development of pancreatitis, though rare, has been related to many drugs, including Valproic Acid (VPA), levetiracetam and Oxcarbamazepine. Here, we report a case of an autistic adolescent with epilepsy who developed pancreatitis likely related to the cumulative effect of the aforementioned drugs.
