ABSTRACT
Santorinicele denotes a focal cystic dilatation of the terminal dorsal pancreatic duct at the minor papilla. Santorinicele results from a combination of obstruction and weakness of the distal dorsal ductal wall. This anomaly has been found in patients with pancreas divisum and recurrent acute pancreatitis. We recently experienced a typical case of santorinicele associated with pancreas divisum incidentally found in a 71-year-old woman presented with acute cholecystitis. At duodenoscopy, the minor papilla was plumped out and bulged into the duodenal lumen after contrast injection. Dorsal pancreatography showed a cystic dilatation at the terminal portion of the dorsal duct and upstream dilatation. In this patient, previous pancreatic-type pain and pancreatitis are thought to be related to this anomaly.
