Isolated dorsal pancreatic agenesis

ABSTRACT

Developmental anomalies of the pancreas have been reported; but among these, agenesis of dorsal pancreas is an extremely rare congenital pancreatic anomaly. It may be asymptomatic and incidentally detected on imaging or may be associated with diabetes mellitus or attacks of pancreatitis. We report a rare case of agenesis of dorsal pancreas that was detected incidentally on imaging and there was no other co-existing anomaly
