A RARE CASE OF RECURRENT ACUTE PANCREATITIS-ANOMALOUS PANCREATO- BILIARY UNION
Abstract
Recurrent acute pancreatitis is defined
as more than one episode of acute pancreatitis.
These patients need a more extensive
workup apart from the detailed
history, laboratory evaluation and
transabdominal ultrasound or computed
tomography. The most common causes
are due to alcohol abuse or gallstone disease.
Recent developments in imaging
techniques and endoscopic retrograde
cholangio-pancreatography have improved
the clinical diagnosis of rare etiologies
like anomalous pancreaticobiliary
union. In this case report, we report
a adolescent female with recurrent
abdominal pain due to recurrent acute
pancreatitis since childhood with APBU
and Choledochal cyst with a common
hepatic duct membranestricture
