“…At this week, the developing extrahepatic biliary tree becomes organized. Establishment of the lumen of the extrahepatic biliary tree occurs by a process of recanalization [ 1 ]. During the recanalization process, the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct coalesce within one duct, the ampulla, before they open into the duodenum on the major papilla [ 1 - 3 ].…”

“…Establishment of the lumen of the extrahepatic biliary tree occurs by a process of recanalization [ 1 ]. During the recanalization process, the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct coalesce within one duct, the ampulla, before they open into the duodenum on the major papilla [ 1 - 3 ]. If they fail to coalesce, they remain as independent ducts and open into the duodenum separately [ 1 - 3 ].…”

“…Variations in the bile duct and pancreatic duct opening are related to the process of rotation and recanalization during embryologic development. Complete non-union of distal common bile duct and duct of Wirsurg gives rise to a double papilla of Vater [ 1 - 3 ].…”

BackgroundA double major papilla of Vater is a rare congenital anomaly with only three documented cases described in the literature.Case reportWe report the case of a 19-year-old man, with chronic ulcerative pancolitis and congenital sphrerocytosis, who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography because he had persistent elevation of liver enzymes and normal MRI cholangiography. During endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a double papilla of Vater with separate drainage for the bile duct and the pancreatic duct was observed.ConclusionEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed normal pancreatogram and findings compatible with sclerosing cholangitis.
