Abstract
- Santorinicele is defined as a focal cystic dilatation of the terminal portion of the dorsal pancreatic duct at the minor papilla. It is unclear whether a santorinicele is congenital or an acquired lesion secondary to relative obstruction and a weakness of the distal dorsal duct wall. Because almost all santorinicele reported to date have been associated with pancreas divisum, it has been assumed that santorinicele is related to the obstruction of pancreatic outflow and resultant pancreatitis that occurs in the pancreas divisum. We describe three cases of santorinicele without pancreatic divisum which were identified incidentally.
