Figure 5.   Patient with obstructive chronic calcified pancreatitis. (A) Plain radiograph show a calcified stone (arrowhead) in the pancreatic area. (B) The MRCP shows dilatation of the main pancreatic duct and the side branches (arrowheads) and the level of obstruction. The obstructive intraductal stone may be suggested (arrow), but its visualization is suboptimal because it is only partially surrounded by fluid. (C) The location of the stone in the main pancreatic duct is clearly shown at ERCP (arrow).
