Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is a term used to describe a group of heterogenous pain syndromes caused by abnormalities in sphincter contractility. Biliary and pancreatic SOD are each sub-classified as type I,ⅡorⅢ, according to the Milwaukee classification. SOD appears to carry an increased risk of acute pancreatitis as well as rates of post ERCP pancreatitis of over 30%. Various mechanisms have been postulated but the exact role of SOD in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis is unknown. There is also an association between SOD and chronic pancreatitis but it is still unclear if this is a cause or effect relationship. Management of SOD is aimed at sphincter ablation, usually by endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES). Patients with typeⅠSOD will benefit from ES in 55%-95% of cases. Sphincter of Oddi manometry is not necessary before ES in type Ⅰ SOD. For patients with typesⅡandⅢthe benefit of ES is lower. These patients should be more thoroughly evaluated before performing ES. Some researchers have found that manometry and ablation of both the biliary and pancreatic sphincters is required to adequately assess and treat SOD. In pancreatic SOD up to 88% of patients will benefit from sphincterotomy. Therefore,there have been calls from some quarters for the current classification system to be scrapped in favour of an overall system encompassing both biliary and pancreatic types. Future work should be aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SOD and pancreatitis and identifying patient factors that will help predict benefit from endoscopic therapy.
