title: [Study of the possibility of an effect of biliary disease on the occurrence of chronic pancreatitis].
abstract: The authors report a series of patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis and underline the high frequency of biliary pathology in these subjects. The authors remind, then a research performed, some years ago, by one of them. In such a research the performing of an anastomosis between the pancreatic duct and the biliary common duct in a series of experimental animals caused an acute pancreatitis or in the surviving animals a chronic pancreatitis. The authors believe that a biliary pathology may be responsible not only of an acute pancreatitis but also of a chronic pancreatitis.
