Biliary Pancreatitis: Endoscopic Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques

  • Chapter
Acute Pancreatitis

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis constitutes one of the most hazardous emergencies in clinical gastroenterology. Although the diagnosis “biliary pancreatitis” is often used in clinical practice for patients presenting with concrements in the biliary tree or impacted in the papillary orifice [17, 32], the common phrase “biliary pancreatitis” has not so far been exactly defined. Patients with cholecystolithiasis may be included in this group, as well as patients with dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi. Some authors have reported that juxtapapillary diverticula increase the risk for development of biliary pancreatitis [28].
