Abstract

Colonic strictures are an uncommon complication of pancreatitis. Three new cases are described and in each case the histological features strongly resemble those seen in strictures of ischemic origin. It is postulated that ischemia and not encircling pericolic inflammation, is the cause of strictures associated with pancreatitis.
