Description
Summary:We report a case of moderately severe acute pancreatitis, hyperglycemia, acidosis, splenic, superior mesenteric, and portal vein thrombosis in relation to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C). The patient responded well to intravenous immune globulin, corticosteroids, antibiotics, systemic anticoagulation, and drainage of peripancreatic fluid. The case highlights the polymorphic presentation of MIS‐C and advises high level of suspicion for unusual, severe cases unresponsive to routine care.
