Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) remains an important healthcare problem that adversely affects quality of life. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a preferred test for the diagnosis of early CP. The Rosemont classification strictly defines and assigns weighting to the previously described ductal and parenchymal criteria. Recent histological correlation studies have improved our understanding of the accuracy of EUS criteria. Digital imaging analysis and complementary functional testing may complement endosonographic diagnosis. EUS-directed celiac plexus blockade and ductal access techniques have expanded the therapeutic armamentarium for pain management in CP.

•• Catalano MF, Sahai A, Levy M, et al.: EUS-based criteria for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis: the Rosemont classification. Gastrointest Endosc 2009;69:1251–61. This paper represents a major effort to standardize EUS criteria. Catalano and colleagues invited many EUS experts to a conference to discuss and critique each of the EUS criteria. The conference resulted in stricter definitions and weighting for individual features, and a rational diagnostic stratification. Since the publication of this article, centers of excellence have begun to use this system for EUS diagnosis of CP, paving the way for future collaborative research. CrossRefPubMed
