Recalcitrant pancreatitis: eventual control by antioxidants.
A woman, 61 years of age at her first attack of pancreatitis, had further attacks every few months during the next two years despite cholecystectomy for gall stones, and pancreato-duodenectomy for pancreas divisum and duodenal diverticulum. Since starting treatment with antioxidants, she has been free of attacks for two years.
