Acute Obstructive Pancreatitis Secondary to Ceftriaxone Induced Cholelithiasis

Abstract

This, an Odyssey of a previously healthy, 6 years old girl who was admitted at Sidra Hospital in Doha-Qatar and was treated initially for acute mastoiditis complicated with an epidural abscess and sagittal sinus thrombossis, she was treated with a long course of Ceftriaxone and then presented abruptly with acute pancreatitis due to obstructing biliary stones. No other known risk factors were identified. Little is reported in the literature about developing this full-blown presentation in this age group and this is to serve as a word for the wise and concerned
