Pancreatitis and agenesis of the dorsal pancreas
Abstract
We report a case of agenesis of the dorsal pancreas, complicated by pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus. A 39-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a chronic pancreatitis. Abdominal spiral CT and ERP and MRCP demonstrated agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. The pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis of this very rarely reported disease are discussed.
