Abstract
This report deals with a young girl affected with chronic hereditary calcifying pancreatitis, which gave rise to acute life-threatening arterial bleeding into the upper gastro-intestinal tract. A pancreatic pseudocyst forming in the chronically affected pancreas spontaneously perforated into the stomach, thereby eroding a gastric wall artery. We think it is conceivable that in the future this type of complication in children with pancreatitis and pseudocyst formation might occur more frequently.
