title: [Ultrasonic findings in pancreas divisum].
abstract: In 36 subjects with pancreas divisum an ultrasonic examinations of the pancreas were made after filling the stomach with 600 ml of fluid. In 27 subjects (75%) it was possible to evaluate the entire pancreas reliably, incl. the area of the dorsal segment. The gastric filling and positioning of the patients during examination improved in 47% the quality of the visualization, in particular in the left half of the pancreas. In three patients sonography revealed marked inflammatory changes in the entire gland. The applied examination procedure protracted the examination time of the pancreas to 30-40 minutes. Aimed ultrasonic examination with gastric filling is recommended as part of the examination procedure in subjects with pancreas divisum.
