PURPOSE: Four children with prolonged emesis during brain tumor therapy were diagnosed with pancreatitis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: All were exposed to medications or radiotherapy that potentially contributed to pancreatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Because recognition of pancreatitis may necessitate changes in supportive care, pancreatitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of vomiting in this population.
