[Angiographic diagnosis of lesions of Winslow's lobe of the pancreas (author's transl)].
Winslow's lobe, the postero-inferior lobe of the head of the pancreas, gives rise to special angiographic appearances owing to its posterior position in relation to the axis of the superior mesenteric artery. It displaces the superior mesenteric artery laterally and forwards, and may also obstruct the vein. In 12 cases of pancreatitis, these signs were usually due to a pseudo-cyst of this lobe of the pancreas, the angiographic discovery of which provided greater accuracy in diagnosis. In 4 cases of carcinoma of the pancreas, there was also irregular stenosis of the first few jejunal arteries, the diagnostic interest of which is important.
