Endoscopic retrograde pancreatograms of five cases of hereditary pancreatitis in one family are presented. The appearance of the pancreatic duct was abnormal in all cases but no findings were specific to hereditary pancreatitis. In two of the cases the only abnormality was dilatation of the secondary pancreatic ducts or caudal area ducts.
