Chronic Pancreatitis

  • Chapter
Radiology of the Pancreas

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis is defined as a continuous inflammatory process usually characterized by a relentless and progressive loss of pancreatic parenchymal tissue (Kloppel and Maillet 1992). After a subclinical phase of variable duration, recurrent attacks of abdominal pain are noted, and exocrine or endocrine insufficiency (or both) appears (Lankisch et al. 1993). In most cases, both exocrine and endocrine functions are lost, although the loss of endocrine function appears later in the disease (Steer et al. 1995).
