Motility of the sphincter of Oddi and pancreatic main ductal pressure in patients with alcoholic, gallstone-associated, and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

We endoscopically measured pressures of the pancreatic duct ( PP) and the sphincter of Oddi (SO) in patients with alcoholic (ALCP, n = 10), gallstone-associated ( GSCP, n = 7), and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP, n = 21), and in 20 controls. The PP was significantly higher in the patients with ALCP (55.7 +/- 28.9 mm Hg), GSCP (33.6 +/- 16.2 mm Hg), or ICP (44.5 +/- 25.8 mm Hg) than in the controls (16.2 +/- 8.7 mm Hg), but there was no significant difference between ALCP, GSCP, and ICP. There was no significant difference between control subjects and ICP in the motility of SO. In ICP, there was no correlation between the PP and the motility of SO. In ALCP and GSCP, the frequencies of the papillary sphincter waves were significantly higher than in normal subjects, and there were correlations between the PP and the motility of SO. These data suggest that increased pancreatic ductal pressure in GSCP with papillitis or ALCP may be due in part to papillary dysfunction, but not in ICP.[1]
