摘要
A 4.5 years old male with myoclonic epilepsy on Valproic acid (VPA) monotherapy, developed an acute pancreatitis. The discontinuation of VPA and substitution with Levetiracetam was followed by clinical improvement but a relapse of the pancreatitis was noted one month later. The investigation excluded a structural abnormality but revealed a heterozygous CTFR mutation. The contribution of the CTFR mutation on this VPA-induced recurrent pancreatitis cannot be ignored.
