Abstract
- A focal cystic dilatation of the terminal portion of the dorsal pancreatic duct at the minor papilla, termed "santorinicele", is seen in a small number of patients with pancreas divisum. Santorinicele is believed to result from a combination, either acquired or congenital, of relative obstruction and weakness of the distal ductal wall and has been suggested as a possible cause of relative stenosis of the accessory papilla, a risk factor for pancreatitis. We report a case of santorinicele associated with incomplete pancreas divisum, found in a 68-year-old woman presented with acute pancreatitis with a brief review of the literatures.
