Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter iv. pancreatitis. History.--Although we now know that pancreatitis is far from uncommon, yet it is astonishing that the attention of the profession was not prominently drawn to it until the publication of the classical monograph on the subject by Fitz, of Boston, in 1899, and this is the more astounding from the facts that so early as 1641 Tulpius found an abscess of the pancreas, and that Greisel (quoted by Portal) described a case of gangrenous pancreatitis in 1673. In 1804 Portal gave a good description of pancreatitis and described both the suppurative and gangrenous varieties. He speaks of the subject as if he had seen a number of cases verified by autopsy. Neumann, of Berlin, drew attention to the possibility of a fatal metastasis from parotitis to pancreatitis. Claessen in 1842 collected six cases from various sources.

In 1882 Boldt collected eleven cases of pancreatitis out of 140 cases of disease of the pancreas. Moore in the same year saw four cases of thrombosis of the veins around the pancreas, and gave it as his opinion that pancreatitis commenced always in the veins. The same year was signalised by Balser's description of fat necrosis as a sign of pancreatic disease. Senn's classical work in the surgery of the pancreas, in 1886, showed the lines on which surgery might follow. Since Fitz's lecture on acute pancreatitis in 1889 there have been numerous contributions on the subject, and we would especially refer to the monograph of M. Antoin Page on suppurative and...
