title: Late sequelae of central pancreatic necrosis. Case report.
abstract: Three cases of complete central pancreatic atrophy following acute pancreatitis are described. The isolated pancreatic tail did not regress, but continued to secrete pancreatic juice through a chronic fistula or recurrent pseudocyst. To our knowledge this clinical entity has not previously attracted attention in the literature.
