Abstract
Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of pancreas. It results from an embryological failure of the dorsal pancreatic bud to form the body and tail of the pancreas. Nowadays use of contrast enhanced computerized scan for various pathologies have made the diagnosis more frequent as compared to the past. This rare anomaly is more frequently diagnosed due to improved scanning protocol and sophisticated software. We report the contrast enhanced imaging details of this rare condition which was incidentally diagnosed while scanning done for unrelated pathology.
