Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain due to chronic inflammation resulting in loss of exocrine and endocrine function. The main complications of chronic pancreatitis are pancreatic pseudocysts and pancreatic carcinoma. In most cases chronic pancreatitis is induced by excessive chronic alcoholism, but intake of small amounts of alcohol may be enough to induce chronic pancreatitis. Treatment of pain includes discontinuation of alcohol abuse, use of analgetics and endoscopic interventional and surgical treatment options.
