“…We were able to make the diagnosis of an AP non-invasively using an abdominal MSCT but an upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy was crucial in clinching the diagnosis of the PDC [23]. The combination of both these modalities of investigations, led us to believe that, the duodenal obstruction, was caused by the PDC rather than AP.…”

“…Obstructive jaundice is described as a rare direct result of AP but usually appears in coexisting periampullary malignancies [17]. The most common symptoms of PDC's are also abdominal pain, but in addition they would have significant weight loss [23]. These two signs, should be investigated with a combination of imaging and ERCP.…”

“…AP in today's advanced imaging world is increasingly being diagnosed by non-invasive methods like MRCP and CT [23]. However, a recent study reviewed 55 cases with AP in adults [5], where the diagnosis was made with ERCP in 47%, MSCT in 18%, with MRCP in 16%, and in 13% of the patients, at the time of surgery.…”

Annular pancreas in an adult is an uncommon and infrequently reported anomaly which is characterized by the presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue surrounding the descending part of the duodenum. It is one of the few congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract, which can manifest with symptoms late in life (Ravitch and Woods in Ann Surg 132:1116-1127, 1950). In adults, the factors initiating symptoms are recurrent pancreatitis, duodenal stenosis at the site of the annulus, or duodenal or gastric ulceration (Morrell and Keynes in Br J Surg 57:814-816, 1970). Operative management of these cases involves bypassing the obstructed duodenum. Duodenoduodenostomy is routinely performed in neonates and children. We report a case of annular pancreas in a 55-year-old male that was successfully treated with robotic duodenoduodenostomy.

“…Gastrojejunostomy (With or without gastric resection) requires an additional vagotomy, especially in the young because of the propensity to cause ulcerations of the stoma of gastrojejunostomy. [16] Inflammations and adhesions in the C loop may preclude the possibility of a duodenojejunostomy.…”

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the band of pancreatic tissue of variable width partially or completely encircling the duodenum. This abnormality, although at times clinically silent or may be the cause of a broad spectrum of diseases. Complications range from neonatal intestinal obstruction to more complex pathologies in the adult such as pancreatitis, duodenal stenosis or duodenal or gastric ulceration. This condition is important to recognise, because radiologists are usually the first person to diagnose such condition. We report the case of a young patient of 10 years old female hospitalized for epigastric pain and repeated episodes of vomiting, in whom radiological investigations showed an annular pancreas. No other congenital anomaly of the intra-abdominal organs was noted. Both the rarity of this congenital abnormality and its probability of successful correction by surgical means have prompted us to make the following presentation.
