In this regard, the case of a 10-year-old female patient, who goes to a health institution at the second level of care, due to abdominal pain, colic-like abdominal pain that begins in the epigastrium and radiates to the bilateral hypochondrium; the same one that presents a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis with three years of evolution; whose amylase and lipase values ​​allowed to establish a presumptive diagnosis of pancreatitis, a complication that is not frequent in pediatric patients. The clinical picture allowed us to observe peculiarities that make it unusual for this age group, when respiratory complications are observed and the development of pancethritis. The disease management protocols, followed by the medical institutions involved, were in accordance with the standards established at the national and international levels.
