Abstract

Recurrent Pancreatitis in a Preschool Child

Biggs Saravanan Ramachandran, Shana Baby

Anomalous pancreatobiliary union in association with choledochal cyst can cause recurrent pancreatitis. Anomalous pancreatobiliary union is a rare condition that can cause a diagnostic challenge and some types can cause recurrent acute pancreatitis. Here we describe a case of re-current pancreatitis with choledochal cyst and choledocholithiasis referred to our hospital for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography which lead to the incidental finding of anomalous pancreatobiliary union type IA and choledocholithiasis.
