- Abstract
A 50-year-old male received conservative medical treatment for acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis. High fever, abdominal pain, as well as enhancement of inflammatory response and pancreatic enzymes in serum, persisted after treatment for 1 month. Purulent pancreatic fluid was drained by endoscopically placing an 8F plastic stent in the main pancreatic duct, resulting in marked improvement of clinical symptoms. This case appears to provide useful information in considering indications for pancreatic stents.
