Abstract
An 11-year-old girl with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis devel oped acute pancreatitis secondary to valproic acid treatment, which re solved after discontinuation of the medication and conservative treatm ent. To my knowledge, this is the first reported case of neuronal cero id lipofuscinosis with valproate-associated pancreatitis. Children wit h neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis may be susceptible to developing this complication.
