Radiological Findings in Congenital Cystic Pancreatic Fibrosis

Abstract

Summary The authors review the radiological findings in 18 oases of fibrocystic disease of the pancreas. In five cases of meconium ileus the radiological picture was very suggestive as to the diagnosis. Later in life, the combination of a diffuse net‐like pattern in the lungs and an irregular intestinal pattern with segmentation was very characteristic of this disease, although each of these findings, taken separately, was inconclusive, as it might be caused by other diseases.
