ERCP was performed.Selectuve cannulation was done of the pancreatic duct .The wire could negotiate the stricture in the neck but even a 5 Fr biliary dilator could not.A stent retriever was screwed over the wire and the stricture dilatation obtained with removal of fragments of stone.A pancreatic stent was placed .
The stent was removed after 2 months to obtain free pancreatic duct drainage.The patient was pain free.
