One Case of Pancreas Divisum
Abstract
- The pancreas is formed from dorsal and ventral parts which normally fuse in the second month of intrauterine life. Pancreas divisum occurs when the ventral and dorsal elements fail to fuse; as a result, the main bulk of the pancreas drains through the accessory papilla. It is a congenital variait of pancreatic ductal fusion and drainage anomalies. Since the accessoy papilla and Santorinis duct are too all to accept total pancreatic secretion, obstructive pain and pancreatitis may result. Between March 1983 and February 1988, 631 patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) in our hospital. We experiericed one case of pancreas divisum. And then, we report it with brief review of literatures.
