Abstract
The term santorinicele has been used to describe a focal dilatation of the terminal portion of the dorsal pancreatic duct at the minor papilla. The prevalence of this rare anomaly is unknown, and it is unclear whether it is congenital in origin or is an acquired lesion secondary to stenosis of the dorsal duct orifice. Because most cases reported to date have been associated with pancreatic divisum, it has been assumed that santoriniceles are related to the obstruction of pancreatic outflow and resultant pancreatitis that occur in pancreatic divisum. The cases of four patients with santoriniceles and without pancreatic divisa are presented.
Key Words: Santorinicele; Pancreas divisum
