They present with either severe upper abdominal pain radiating to back requiring narcotic analgesics, or may present as diabetes or foul smelling loose sticky stools called steatorrhoea. [practo.com]

To the best of our knowledge this was the first case of its kind presented to our hospital in recent past. A 25-year-old female presented to the emergency department of our hospital with an acute episode of pancreatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This work was presented in part at the 1994 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (Digestive Disease Week, New Orleans). [journals.lww.com]

Presented in a case-based format with accompanying videos, it will serve as a valuable practical clinical resource for gastroenterologists with an interest in ERCP and EUS. [books.google.com]

Thus, we report a case that presented with acute pancreatitis induced by insertion of a PTCS catheter without manipulations of AOV. [kjpbt.org]

• Abdominal Pain

  They present with either severe upper abdominal pain radiating to back requiring narcotic analgesics, or may present as diabetes or foul smelling loose sticky stools called steatorrhoea. [practo.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]

  The patient was hospitalized with abdominal pain. ERP showed stricture and pseudocysts. After EPDBD, EPS was placed into the cyst (Figure 6). Figure 6. EPDBD of the narrowed duct in body. [oatext.com]

• Epigastric Pain

  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]

  Method A 62-year-old woman presented with persistent epigastric pain. Investigations revealed calcifications within the main pancreatic duct and head of the gland. [nzma.org.nz]

• Epigastric Tenderness

  Physical examination revealed moderate epigastric tenderness. There was no guarding and no masses or organs were palpable. Investigations showed CRP 93mg/L (NR 9 /L (neutrophils 8.7, monocytes 1.1) and amylase 74u/L (NR 8–53). [nzma.org.nz]

  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]

  The most common symptoms are jaundice, weight loss, diabetes and back pain. [allps.co.uk]

  The abdominal pain is typically epigastric and radiates to the back. Pain may come and go or occur at all times, but is worse after eating. Figure 5 shows the various potential causes of abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis. [pancreapedia.org]

• Suggestibility

  The findings were not suggestive of any chronic pancreatitis. Conservative treatment was given for the episodic attack of AP. After the episode resolved, an exploration and extraction of the pancreatic ductal calculus was performed successfully. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It suggests that PTCS catheter may have the own space in the narrow CBD and may shift the expansile force toward the pancreas than soft PTBD catheter. [kjpbt.org]

  In a case series of 32 patients, complete clearance of the stones was obtained in 75% without the necessity of endoscopic extraction of fragments. (7) Results from the cited case series suggest that ESWL has a role in the management of pancreatic lithiasis [bcidaho.com]

  The prevalence of calculi cannot be separated from the prevalence of the etiological factors, the most common being alcohol. [2], [3] Sarles suggested that all forms of CP are the result of calculous disease irrespective of radiological studies showing [saudisurgj.org]
