Chronic pancreatitis Sep 9, 2005
Patient with chronic upper abdominal pain examined by EUS for a suspicion of common bile duct stones. EUS visualized an in-homogenous pancreas, with hyperechoic strands and foci, with a visible Wirsung with hyperechoic margins (criteria of early chronic pancreatitis). Elastography showed a moderate hard in-homogenous pattern (scattered blue-green signals) over the pancreatic area (Provided by Prof. Dr. Peter Vilmann, Copenhagen).
