Abstract

Organophosphate poisoning is common poisoning seen in developing countries. Accidental poisoning is rare in
children but adolescents consume it with suicidal intention. Complications following op compound poisonings are
well known but children developing acute pancreatitis is a rare complication.[1-2] Hence we present a case series of
children developing acute pancreatitis in op compound poisoning. All five cases were treated conservatively and
successfully discharged.
