Abstract

Though pancreatic divisum is the most common congenital anomaly of pancreas, its co-occurrence with choledochal cyst is a rare finding with less than ten reported cases in literature. Both these conditions are associated with significant morbidity to the patient. Also the understanding of patho-physiology of pancreatitis in pancreatic divisum is undergoing a change. In this case report, we discuss a case adult female who presented with chronic pain abdomen. The workup of the case, problems encountered and management is discussed.
