Abstract
An 8-year-old boy became lost while hiking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of northern California in August 1994. He was found 2 days later, at which time he was dehydrated and admitted to the hospital for rehydration. After admission, he was found to also have mild pancreatitis. Although trauma could not be ruled out as the cause of the pancreatitis, the stress associated with being lost is felt to be an equally likely etiology.
