There is no association with pancreatitis and sclerosing cholangitis. Alcoholic hepatitis is the most common cause of jaundice, but it most frequently is not of an obstructive nature. Pseudocysts and carcinoma of the head of the pancreas are other recognized causes of obstructive jaundice in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
