Overview
Classification
Chronic pancreatitis may be divided based on underlying morphology into:
- Large-duct type
- Small-duct type
- With calcification
- Without calcification.
Groove pancreatitis is a form of segmental pancreatitis that involves confinement of the inflammation process to the groove between the duodenum, common bile duct, and head of the pancreas without any involvement of the head of pancreas[1]
