Introduction: Drug interactions are effects that change the effect of the drug and therefore on the patient, mostly due to the use of drugs together at the same or recent times. Drug interactions can cause serious consequences such as the development of adverse events, ineffectiveness of the treatment, or mortality. Materials and Methods: The prescriptions of 106 patients who applied to the ear, nose, and throat outpatient clinic between January and December 2021 were examined retrospectively. Results: 106 prescriptions were included in the study. Twelve major, 19 moderate, and 9 minor interactions were detected in 106 prescriptions. Conclusion: Although there are relatively few interactions compared to studies conducted with other patient groups, interactions can affect the clinical status of the patient. More attention should be paid to drug interactions in these patients, especially physicians and pharmacists.

Trauma is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. Pancreatic injury is relatively rare but has high morbidity and mortality when the diagnosis is delayed. However, diagnosis of pancreatic trauma is difficult. Ultrasound is limited for diagnosing pancreatic injury. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very useful for detecting direct and secondary signs of pancreatic injury and its complications such as abscess, fistula, pancreatitis, and pseudocyst. We presented a 10-year-old boy with a hemorrhagic pancreatic pseudocyst due to blunt trauma that happened a week ago. His laboratory findings showed elevated serum amylase and lipase levels. In abdominal ultrasonography, bilobular thick-walled fluid collections in the pancreatic parenchyma and peripancreatic location were observed. MRI showed hemorrhagic pseudocysts in the pancreas and pancreatic duct injury. The pseudocysts were treated by cysto-gastrostomy. Children should be carefully evaluated for pancreatic injury and late complications such as hemorrhagic pancreatic pseudocyst to reduce mortality after blunt trauma.
