[Computer tomogram of changes in pancreatic calcification during pancreatitis].
In 3 patients an increase of pancreatic calcification was observed in the course of 2 months. The increase of the calcification was combined with an improvement of the patient and a decrease of pseudocysts. Therefore the increase of pancreatic calcification was considered as a good sign. After surgical drainage of a pseudocyst one patient showed a decrease of pancreatic calcification in the course of 1 year. In this patient the clinical picture indicated a favourable development. This observation demonstrates that a recovering pancreas may show diminishing calcifications.
