Can a bite from a poisons snake cause pancreatitis?
No. The only venom known to produce pancreatitis is from the scorpions Tityus trinitatis and Tityus serrulatus, found in South America. I have recently been diagnosed with duodenal stenosis and following a CT scan have been told that this may be due to an annular pancreas. Is there anything non-surgical I can do to prevent further complications or reverse those that I have? In symptomatic patients, treatment of annular pancreas is surgical alleviation of the obstruction. Division of the annulus is not recommended because of the high incidence of pancreatitis and pancreatic fistulas complicating that procedure. Bypass of the obstructed intestinal segment is the preferred procedure.
