A 59-year-old male with chronic calcific pancreatitis secondary to alcohol and smoking presented with chronic abdominal pain and acute recurrent pancreatitis. [endoscopedia.com]

  This paper reports 2 women aged 27 and 40 with histories of chronic abdominal pain, and who, by abdominal X-ray and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), were shown to have multiple calcifications in the main and accessory pancreatic [karger.com]

  Abstract A 53-year-old woman with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis had abdominal pain due to a pancreatic stone in the main pancreatic duct of the pancreatic head. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  After the modified Puestow procedure, abdominal pain was reduced in patients with complete or incomplete stone clearance (P>0.05). Steatorrhea and diabetes mellitus developed in several patients during a long-term follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  However, the patient visited the emergency room for severe abdominal pain three days after discharge. Vital signs were stable. [kjpbt.org]

• Epigastric Pain

  This can be a major factor causing pain in patients with CP. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that symptoms may improve following pancreatic duct drainage. Method A 62-year-old woman presented with persistent epigastric pain. [nzma.org.nz]

  CASE A 65-year-old woman presented with postprandial epigastric pain that lasted for several days. Twenty years ago, the patient had undergone a subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II for gastric ulcer and a cholecystectomy. Vital signs were stable. [kjpbt.org]

  Case 1 A 22-year-old male with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic stones (the first implementation of EPDBD at our hospital) with epigastric pain prompting was hospitalized. [oatext.com]

• Pancreatic Pain

  Pseudocysts of the Pancreas Pseudocysts of the pancreas are abnormal collections of fluid, dead tissue, pancreatic enzymes, and blood that can lead to a painful mass in the pancreas. [massgeneral.org]

  Pancreatic enzymes Can be considered in all patients with pain. Randomized trials of pancreatic enzymes for pain show mixed results. A meta-analysis of these trials did not show benefit for treating pain. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  The use of pancreatic enzymes was not considered to indicate pancreatic insufficiency, because they had also been prescribed as part of pain management. [nejm.org]

• Back Pain

  Back pain at the same opposite spot of the abdomen pain Indigestion Unexplained weight loss Nausea and vomiting are other common symptoms Diagnosis: An ultrasound and sonography is done to detect the pancreatic duct stones. [drwanisgastrocare.com]

  […] below your breastbone Back pain between your shoulder blades Pain in your right shoulder Nausea or vomiting Gallstone pain may last several minutes to a few hours. [mayoclinic.org]

  Additional symptoms of severe acute pancreatitis include upper abdominal or back pain and fever. Pain is usually described as sharp and stabbing, typically radiating to the back, with occasional throbbing. [nyulangone.org]

  Sudden severe abdominal pain. Pain usually begins in the upper abdomen and radiates s to your back. [allps.co.uk]

  Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, and diabetes. Abdominal pain is the most common presenting symptom. The abdominal pain is typically epigastric and radiates to the back. [pancreapedia.org]

• Pancreatic Calcification

  Imaging evidence usually reveals far advanced structural injury (e.g., pancreatic calcifications). [clinicaladvisor.com]

  CT examination is the most appropriate method for identifying pancreatic calcifications, while for very small calcifications non-enhanced CT is preferred. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  In 1995, Yoshida et al. first proposed a concept of AIP that did not include pancreatic calcification [ 4 ]. [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]

  These calcifications are like stones that are within the tissue itself, or within the pancreatic duct (Figure 1). [pancreapedia.org]

Several days after treatment, symptoms of pancreatitis improved with conservative treatment. [oatext.com]

In contrast, in the study of Kozarek and colleagues from the United States, patients received general or epidural anesthesia and received a single treatment session, with repeat treatment at a later time, if the initial treatment was unsuccessful. [bcidaho.com]

Keywords : Catheter, Common bile duct, Stone, Pancreatitis INTRODUCTION Acute pancreatitis is caused by various etiologies, although the pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood [ 1 ]. [kjpbt.org]

Specific etiologies may have specific associated conditions. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Irrespective of the etiology majority of patients of CP present with pain as the dominant symptom. From an endoscopists perspective CP is a challenge. [jdeonline.in]

Distinct classification systems have been developed for CP, but only the Toxic/metabolic, Idiopathic, Genetic, Autoimmune, Recurrent acute pancreatitis, and Obstructive (TIGAR-O) and the M-ANNHEIM classification systems take the etiology of CP into account [emedicine.medscape.com]
