A case of pancreatic ascites in a 4-month-old baby girl is reported. To the best of our knowledge only 4 previous cases occurring in the first year of life have been reported in the pediatric literature. In patients with unexplained ascites, amylase determination should be performed on ascitic fluid and serum. The baby was first treated by external drainage and later by internal drainage of the pseudocyst which had formed along the fistula.
