Magnetic Resonance

Stomach
Gall Bladder
•Fluid filled bile and
pancreatic ducts are very
bright on T2 images
•Accessory duct drains
majority of pancreas
Pancreas Divisum Anomaly

Hilary Hochberg
Gillian Lieberman, MD
He returned to EU with nausea,
vomiting, and periumbilical pain,
similar to prior admission.
•CT: Pancreatitis and large pancreatic pseudocyst
extending into lesser sac and compressing stomach
J.C. clinically improved, and he was
discharged home.

Embryology

Week 4: Dorsal pancreatic bud Week 5: Ventral bud appears between GB and duodenum.
Bile duct moves to right, apposing
the pancreatic buds as duodenal wall
differentially grows.
Dorsal duct (Santorini) and ventral duct (Wirsung) FUSE. The
ventral duct is the main duct for pancreatic secretions into the
duodenum. If the dorsal duct persists, it is called the
minor papilla.

Pancreas Divisum
• NO FUSION of ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds
• Ventral bud only drains ventral pancreas
• Dorsal bud (through minor papilla) must drain majority of
pancreas.
• Minor papilla is often stenotic and inhibits flow of pancreatic
juice Pancreatitis
• Other features:
– Stenosis of minor papilla
– Signs of chronic pancreatitis
– Dilated dorsal duct
– Santorinicele
18
Hilary Hochberg
Gillian Lieberman, MD
Diagnosis of Pancreas Divisum:
ERCP
• Absent or small ventral duct
• Confirm by cannulation of minor duct
lack of communication between dorsal and
ventral and dorsal ducts.

Treatment of Pancreas Divisum
Standard Medical Therapy:
Low fat diet
Analgesics
Pancreatic enzymes
Anticholinergics
Minor Papilla Treatment:
Endoscopic
•Dilatation
•Stenting
•Papillotomy
Open surgical
•Minor sphincteroplasty
•Pancreatico-jejunostomy with Roux-en-Y limb
21
Hilary Hochberg

Pros Cons
ERCP •Best visualization of ductal anatomy
•Access for biopsy or
therapeutic intervention
(sphincterotomy)
•Technically difficult.
•Radiation
•Expensive
•Invasive: Complications (4%
ERCPpancreatitis)
MRCP •Noninvasive
•Better imaging of
parenchyma
•Worse resolution than
fluoroscopy so less sensitive
than ERCP
•Screening Examination In Patients With Low or
Intermediate Probability Of choledocholithiasis
•Failed or Incomplete ERCP
•Post-operative Anatomy
•Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)
•Complications of Chronic Pancreatitis
•Variant Ductal Anatomy!
MRCP growing
in use….
