Overview

Classification

Chronic pancreatitis may be divided based on underlying morphology into:

  • Large-duct type
  • Small-duct type
    • With calcification
    • Without calcification.

Groove pancreatitis:

Groove pancreatitis is a form of segmental pancreatitis that involves confinement of the inflammation process to the groove between the duodenum, common bile duct, and head of the pancreas without any involvement of the head of pancreas.[1]

Hereditary pancreatitis:

  • Hereditary pancreatitis is a subtype of chronic pancreatitis.
  • It is an autosomal dominant inheritance with 80% of penetrance rate. [2]
  • Symptoms usually develop <20 year of age and often <5yr age.
  • It is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • The management is similar to the other causes of chronic pancreatitis.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP):

Tropical pancreatitis:

  • It is one of the most common causes of chronic pancreatitis in tropical areas including south India.
  • It was thought to be caused by cassava fruit but no longer associated with it and has no clear etiology.[3]
  • It usually affects children leading to early adulthood death due to endocrine and exocrine dysfunction.
  • Serine protease inhibitor SPINK1 mutations are identified in some of the patients.[4][5]

Idiopathic pancreatitis:

  • Idiopathic pancreatitis usually includes the non-alcohol induced cases of chronic pancreatitis
  • Contributing factors may include:
    • Concealed alcohol intake
    • Hypersensitivity to alcohol
    • Unreported pancreatic trauma
    • Mutations in the cationic trypsinogen gene and the cystic fibrosis gene
