Overview

Ultrasound findings suggestive of hereditary pancreatitis may include dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, calcifications, pancreatic gland enlargement, changes in pancreatic size, shape, and contour, pancreatic pseudocysts, hyperechogenicity suggesting fibrotic changes, pseudoaneurysms and ascites. 

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound findings suggestive of chronic pancreatitis may include:[1]
    • Dilatation of the main pancreatic duct
    • Calcifications
    • Pancreatic gland enlargement
    • Changes in pancreatic size, shape, and contour
    • Pancreatic pseudocysts
    • Hyperechogenicity suggesting fibrotic changes
    • Pseudoaneurysms
    • Ascites
