Dorsal pancreatic agenesis
text:
Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is a congenital anomaly characterised by the absence of the duct of Santorini, tail and body of the pancreas. It is regarded as asymptomatic and the most common clinical manifestation is non-specific abdominal pain. While the cause is unclear, its mechanism is thought to be impaired dorsal buds or mutation of genes that regulate organogenesis during embryogenesis. Early diagnostic methods are laparotomy and autopsy. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
