Dr. Nareshkumar, Dr. Phanikrishnaravula

Abstract :

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the preasence of ectopic pancreatic tissue surrounding the duodenum. this malformation is usually asymptomatic in adults ,but can manifests as pancreatitis,duodenalstenosis,or duodenal or gastric ulceration.we report the case of a young patient of 35 years old hospitalized for epigastric pain and vomitings,in whom radiological investigations showed an annular pancreas.At operation, a complete obstruction of duodenum between its first and second parts was found,caused by an annular pancreas.no other congenital anomaly of intra abdominal organs was noted. A duodenojejunostomy was performed. Both rarity of this congenital abnormality and its successful correction by surgical means have prompted us to make the following presentation.
