title: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in familial pancreatitis.
abstract: A young man and his father, both with pancreatitis, were recently seen at the Mayo Clinic. The histories, physical findings, and laboratory values were those of chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was valuable in confirming the gross pathological changes and in orienting the surgeon preoperatively.
