Abstract :

Pancreatic divisum is a congenital anomaly where the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds fail to fuse emyologically.This leads to majority of pancreatic duct secretions draining through the duct of Santorini(dorsal duct) into the minor papilla. A case of 17 years old male complaining of abdominal pain,nausea and vomiting is presented. He was initially treated for acid peptic disease and later admitted with aggravation of abdominal pain with elevated serum amylase and lipase levels. Present case report highlights on the fact that a high index of suspicion for diagnosing pancreatic divisum should be considered in young patients presenting with first attack of acute pancreatitis in absence of history of smoking, alcoholism  and family history of pancreatic disease. This report also highlights the use of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in the definite diagnosis of Pancreatic Divisum.
