Abstract
Background: Acute pancreatitis in pediatric patients is uncommon, and infectious vascular complications such as pylephlebitis are exceptionally rare. When associated with pulmonary septic emboli, an underlying systemic infectious source should be suspected. We report a rare case in which acute pancreatitis complicated by pylephlebitis led to the etiological diagnosis of infective endocarditis in a child, highlighting the pivotal role of imaging in detecting multisystem involvement.
