The present study was intended to examine the spectrum of radiographic patterns of the stomach associated with acute and chronic pancreatitis and their complications. Subjects served for the study consisted of 70 cases of pancreatitis (36 cases in acute stage and 34 cases in chronic stage). Intramural and perigastric permeation of extravasated pancreatic enzymes and secondary inflammatory reaction that follows are responsible for the radiographic change observed. 1. Generalized ulcorner미 thickening and particularly selective mucosal prominences in greater curvature of body ad antrum are characteristically seen in acute (14 of 36 cases -39%) and chronic pancreatitis (11 of 34 cases -32%). 2. The only finding fo fthe chronic pancreatitis includes patterns mimicking linitis plastica, indurated and nondistensible rugae induced by perigastric adhesion (11 of 34 cases - 32%). Familiarization with these patterns of involvement contributes to the radiographic diagnosis of acute pancreatitis avoides serious diagnostic errors in cases of chronic pancreatitis.
