Pancreatic Calculi (Pancreatic Stones)
Pancreatic stones (calculi) are calcium carbonate deposits that form within the pancreatic ducts. They are most commonly associated with Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis, often resulting from long-term alcohol consumption, malnutrition, or metabolic disorders. These stones obstruct the flow of digestive enzymes, leading to inflammation and impaired organ function.Key Clinical Features:
🔱 Epigastric Pain: Severe, boring, or stabbing pain in the upper abdomen that often radiates straight through to the back.
🔱 Steatorrhea: Foul-smelling, oily stools due to the lack of lipase enzymes.
🔱 Weight Loss: Caused by malabsorption and fear of eating (as food often triggers pain).
🔱 Diabetes Mellitus: Occurs in advanced stages when the endocrine part of the pancreas is damaged.
