분할 췌와 동반된 췌담관 합류 이상 1예

An anomalous union of the pancreatobiliary ductal system is defined as the junction between the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct outside the duodenal wall and beyond the influence of the sphincter of Oddi. This anomaly may relate to some pancreatobiliary lesions such as choledochal cysts, biliary tract carcinomas, or pancreatitis. Pancreas divisum is the most common congenital variant of the pancreatic ductal anatomy, and when it occurs, the ductal system of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic bud, fail to fuse during the second month of gestation. There have only been four cases of the coexistence of an anomalous union of the pancreatobiliary duct and pancreas divisum, reported until now. The case of a 29 year old man with epigastric pain and fever was recently experienced. An ERCP revealed an anomalous union of the pancreatobiliary duct, complete pancreas divisum and common bile duct stone. The case is herein reported. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2000;20:141 144)
