    AbstractNATURAL HISTORY: Alcoholism is a common cause of chronic calcifying pancreatitis. Abdominal pain, weight loss and acute complications are the early manifestations. Besides chronic pain, about 80% of the patients develop acute pancreatitis, pseudocysts, compression of the main bile duct, serous effusion or digestive bleeding during the first five years of the disease course. Painful episodes are more frequent after 5 to 10 years, with a risk of jaundice and persistent pseudocyst formation.
