Abstract
Due to increasing radiology in current era more and more rare radio logical manifestation are coming in front. We reported a rare case of pancreatic a genesis with cardiac manifestation documented echocardiographically which include pulmonary stenosis, and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension. Due to mutation in gene these changes are possible but due to cost constraint we are unable to document genetic mutation.
Highlights
Pancreatic a-genesis in literature is a rare entity, and only few cases are associated with cardiac manifestation
Cardiac manifestation documented in different case reports are ventricular septal defect, tetrology of fallot and pulmonary stenosis.[1]
The dorsal agenesis may be asymptomatic, but some time manifested as abdominal pain, diabetes mellitus and chronic pancreatitis.[3]
Summary
Pancreatic a-genesis in literature is a rare entity, and only few cases are associated with cardiac manifestation. Cardiac Manifestation with Rare Pancreatic Agenesis: A Case Report with Review of Literature Cardiac manifestation documented in different case reports are ventricular septal defect, tetrology of fallot and pulmonary stenosis.[1] The earliest reported case of pancreatic a-genesis was noticed in 1911.1 Genetic mutation in GATA 6 gene is thought to be the responsible factors of these combined abnormalities involving cardiac as well as pancrease.[2] During the embryonic phase of life the junction between foregut and midgut of septum tranversum split up into two buds dorsal and ventral which later on unite to form the pancreas.
