Recurrent Pancreatitis Revealing Pancreas Divisum in a Young Patient with Multiple Congenital Malformations
Abstract
A 16-year-old boy with recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis was found to have an incomplete pancreas divisum on MRCP, along with associated renal and adrenal congenital anomalies. This ductal malformation likely contributed to his repeated pancreatitis. The case highlights the importance of advanced imaging, particularly MRCP, in identifying pancreatic duct variants in young patients with unexplained or recurrent pancreatitis.
