[Diagnostic status in chronic pancreatitis. Observations on 50 cases]. 1983

M Matergi, and E Chirone, and A Belvisi, and M Magnanelli

The authors, after underlining the persistent interest for the problem of the chronic pancreatitis, especially about the diagnostic difficulty, refer the anamnestic, clinical and instrumental data concerning 50 patients with chronic pancreatitis examined in a period of ten years in Grosseto 's hospital. The authors discuss the most probable aetio -pathogenetic factors of chronic pancreatitis and review the numerous diagnostic methods at present available to study this disease, proposing future levels of research, on the basis of their significance, facility of execution, acceptability for the patient and cost, for a fit screening of the disease.
