Overview
Classification
Chronic pancreatitis may be divided based on underlying morphology into:
- Large-duct type
- Small-duct type
- With calcification
- Without calcification.
Groove pancreatitis:
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]
Hereditary pancreatitis:
- Hereditary pancreatitis is a subtype of chronic pancreatitis.
- It is an autosomal dominant inheritance with 80% of penetrance rate. [2]
- Symptoms usually develop <20 year of age and often <5yr age.
- It is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- The management is similar to the other causes of chronic pancreatitis.
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP):
Tropical pancreatitis:
Idiopathic pancreatitis:
