Abstract
Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly, where a band of pancreatic tissue encircles the second part of the duodenum. Owing to its rarity neither the true prevalence nor the precise etiology of annular pancreas is known. It is usually diagnosed incidentally on imaging, during an abdominal surgery, or on autopsy. Treatment is individualized according to symptoms, ranging from close follow up to surgical interventions.
In this case report, we provide an insight to a case of annular pancreas. We present the patient’s history and clinical assessment, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
