[Erroneous diagnoses in the retrograde demonstration of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. Results of a prospective study involving 197 examinations (author's transl)].
The results of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography were evaluated in a prospective study of 126 patients in respect of diagnostic accuracy, as compared with surgery and clinical follow-up. The diagnosis was incorrect in 11 patients; in seven it failed to differentiate between acute and chronic pancreatitis. The discrepancies in the other four patients are described in detail, particularly with reference to prepapillary filling defects. The indications, advantages and limitations of ERCP are discussed.
