Abstract

The pancreatobiliary ductal system is one of the most frequent areas of anatomic variations. Rcently despite the improvement in diagnosis and management of pancreatobiliary lesion, a lack of s more through knowledge and understanding of these variations is undoubtedly reaponsible for many problems of medical and surgical management. Especially, drainage of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct at sites other than the second portion of the duodenum is an anotomical curiosity. We report two cases of anomalous termination of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct into the duodenal bulb diagnosed by ERCP and Gastroscopy.
