Aim. To evaluate the informational content of endoscopic ultrasound in pediatric patients with pancreatobiliary diseases. Materials and methods. The study included 16 patients with pancreatobiliary diseases, who were examined with 17 endoscopic ultrasounds within 14 months. The follow-up was 12 months. Results. Endoscopic ultrasound was informative in all 16 patients and in 14 patients it had an impact on the management. The main diseases that were indications for the examination included choledocholithiasis, pancreatobiliary abnormalities, relapsing pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, as well as a combination of these diseases. There were no complications during the diagnostic examination as well as during the procedure done under the control of endoscopic ultrasonography. Conclusion. Endoscopic ultrasound is promising, effective and safe not only in adults but also in pediatric patients.
