Abstract:
A gallstone blocking the ampulla of Vater or the common bile duct is the usual cause of gallstone pancreatitis. A gallstone in the pancreatic duct itself, leading to pancreatitis, has rarely been documented. We describe such a case and show what seems to have been the obstructing stone by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
