Pancreatic calcification is a diagnostic feature of chronic pancreatitis even without clinical signs and symptoms Pancreatic calcification is observed on radiographs in approximately 30%–50% of patients with chronic pancreatitis in adults
- Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis: Causes and Treatments
Chronic calcific pancreatitis is characterized by long-term inflammation of the pancreas, which ultimately leads to the formation of calcium deposits, or pancreatic stones, within the pancreatic tissue These calcifications can obstruct the pancreatic ducts, causing severe abdominal pain and significant digestive issues The condition
