- Abstract
Described is the case of a 24-yr-old patient in whom recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis following a cholecystectomy were found to be associated with anomaly of the pancreas--the so-called pancreas divisum. An examination by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed typical findings of a short duct of Wirsung. Cannulation of the secondary duct of Santorini revealed a grossly dilated and strictured duct full of stones. After drainage of the duct by a pancreaticojejunostomy (Puestow procedure), the patient has not had any further episodes of acute pancreatitis during a follow-up period of 4 yr.
