Abstract

Meandering Main Pancreatic Duct in a Case of Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis

Mahesh Prakash, Madhurima Sharma, Rajesh Gupta, Niranjan Khandelwal

Meandering main pancreatic duct is an anatomical variant of main pancreatic duct, characterized by abnormal configuration of the duct in pancreatic head region. Meandering pancreatic duct can be underlying cause for recurrent pancreatitis. This less common variant can be easily diagnosed on imaging, particularly magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
