Abstract

Lโ€Asparaginaseโ€induced pancreatitis is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication. An 8โ€yearโ€old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia developed acute pancreatitis following treatment with asparaginase. Clinical and laboratory improvements were evident after treatment with somatostatin, with no complications of pancreatitis. Induction therapy for the leukaemia was able to be continued and complete remission was documented during the course of pancreatitis and somatostatin treatment, suggesting a beneficial role of somatostatin in the management of asparaginaseโ€induced pancreatitis. ยฉ 1994 Wileyโ€Liss, inc.

## Background. Octreotide is a synthetic somatostatin analogue which has been suggested for use in the management of acute pancreatitis. While studies have looked at octreotide use in the setting of pancreatitis due to chronic alcohol use or trauma, little is known of its role in management of dru
