Abstract
This report describes a patient with well-documented chronic pancreatitis whose preoperative Se75 selenomethionine pancreatic scintigram failed to demonstrate the pancreas. Six months after sphincterotomy and sphincteroplasty, pancreatic function testing and the pancreatic scintigram became normal. The value of pancreatic imaging in providing an objective means of assessing the physiologic efficacy of operation for chronic pancreatitis is discussed.Keywords
