Papillary stenosis
A disturbance of the sphincter of Oddi, a muscular valve, that prevents the opening and release of bile or pancreatic fluids into the duodenum in response to food entering the duodenum.
Obstruction of the valve can cause:
- pancreatic pain
- jaundice - bile leaking back into the blood stream.
- attacks of pancreatitis
Causes:
Diagnosis and Treatment:
- Endoscopic examination[3]
