A Case of Congenital Anomaly of the Pancreatic Duct Discovered in a Child with Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis
Abstract
- Congenital pancreatic duct anomalies result from an error in the complex developmental process. Congenital pancreatic duct anomalies may be categorized by their mechanisms into migration anomaly, fusion anomaly, and duplication anomaly. These ductal abnormalities have been implicated to be potential causes for both acute and chronic pancreatitis. We have recently observed a congenital anomaly of the pancreatic ducts in which bifurcated main pancreatic ducts drain through the major papilla in a 10 year-old boy presenting with recurrent acute pancreatitis. Although its causal relationship with acute pancreatitis is unclear, this kind of pancreatic ductal anomaly has not been found in the literature.
