Groove pancreatitis: CT features
Abstract
Groove pancreatitis, rare form of chronic pancreatitis, is characterized by fibrous scars in the anatomic space between the head of the pancreas, the duodenum and the common bile duct. The patients usually present with postprandial abdominal pain, impaired motility and stenosis of the duodenum and postprandial vomiting. It is often misdiagnosed as pancreatic malignancy or autoimmune pancreatitis because of its pseudotumor formation. Here in this study, we present a case of groove pancreatitis and highlight important clinical aspects and diagnostic imaging signs of this disease’s entity.
