Abstract
Pancreas divisum is the most common congenital pancreatic anomality and is seen in more than 5% of the general population. In many cases, this variant is a coincidental finding at endoscopy or imaging studies, but it is also implicated as a cause of acute recurrent pancreatitis in some patients. Here the author shows an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography of a patient with complete pancreas divisum with an ansa pancreatica, and demonstrate the typical findings and techniques for cannulation of the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts. Moreover, several variants of pancreas divisum are illustrated. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
