Chronic obstructive pancreatitis associated with gallstone in a child.
A case of chronic obstructive pancreatitis in a 15-year-old girl is presented. The aetiology of the disease is believed to be due primarily to an impacted gallstone in the ampulla of Vater and secondarily to a large intraductal calculus in the pancreas. A pancreaticogastrostomy was performed and the large pancreatic calculus removed.
