Abstract:
Annular pancreas is a relatively rare congenital diseasecaused by an embryologica1and anatomical disturbance in pancreas It may have no sympforns throughout the life and so occasionally discovered during an unrelevant surgery or autopsy but in most of the cases it shows itself as a duodenal obstruction during the infancy and childhood.Very rarely symptoms of the disease my be observed in adult particularly efter 30 years of age.

Portal annular pancreas (PAP) is an asymptomatic congenital pancreas anomaly, in which portal and/or mesenteric veins are encased by pancreas tissue. The aim of the study was to determine the role of PAP in pancreatic surgery as well as its management and potential complication, specifically, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF).On the basis of a case report, the MEDLINE and ISI Web of Scien...
