[Etiology of pancreatitis in 10 years of case material].
The aetiology of the 166 pancreatitis-casts observed in the authors' department between January 1, 1966, and December 31, 1975 is analysed. In 123 (74%) cases the aetiology could be clarified, while in 3 cases even the autopsy failed to throw light on the pathogenesis of the fatal pancreatitis. The distribution of complications and mortality according to aetiology is presented. The conclusions drawn from the material indicate that the frequency of pancreatitis is increasing and a shift occurs towards the young age groups. The less frequently occurring aetiological factors are pointed out and the importance of a careful history is stressed. Early operation of patients with gallstones is an important factor in the prevention of pancreatitis.
