Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease produced by an alteration of the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q31.2). In this regard, it was presented the case of a female patient of 10 years of age who went to a health institution of the second level of care due to colic abdominal pain that began in the epigastrium and radiated to bilateral hypochondrium. The same one presented 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 to observe peculiarities that make it unusual for this age group due to respiratory complications and the development of pancreatitis. The disease management protocols, followed by the medical institutions involved were in accordance with the standards established at the national and international levels.
