Introduction. Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly in which band of the pancreatic tissue, continuity with head, completely or incompletely surrounds descending part duodenum. An abnormal development can cause complete annular pancreas, partial and divisum. Complete diagnosed newborns, while diagnosis more frequently established adults. The most reliable diagnostic methods are computed...

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease of cholesterol metabolism. It is a multiple malformation syndrome with typical dysmorphic features such as bitemporal narrowing, ptosis, epicanthus, microcephaly, micrognathia, and cardiovascular, skeletal, urogenital, and gastrointestinal anomalies. This report presents a typical case of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome with annular pancre...

Portal annular pancreas (PAP) is a rare variant in which the uncinate process of the pancreas extends to the dorsal surface of the pancreas body and surrounds the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein. Upon pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), when the pancreas is cut at the neck, two cut surfaces are created. Thus, the cut surface of the pancreas becomes larger than usual and the dorsal cut surface...

Duodenal atresia has been reported in association with various malformations and syndromes common being Down syndrome, malrotation, and annular pancreas. Its association with multiple anomalies is rare and scarcely reported in literature. Herein 3 cases of duodenal atresia associated with multiple congenital anomalies are being reported.

A novel RFX6 homozygous missense mutation was identified in an infant with Mitchell-Riley syndrome. The most common features of Mitchell-Riley syndrome were present, including severe neonatal diabetes associated with annular pancreas, intestinal malrotation, gallbladder agenesis, cholestatic disease, chronic diarrhea, and severe intrauterine growth restriction. Perijejunal tissue similar to pan...

BACKGROUND Annular pancreas (AP) concurrent with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ), an unusual coexisted congenital anomaly, often presented symptoms and subjected surgical treatment at the early age of life. We reported the first adult case of concurrent AP with PBMJ presented with symptoms until his twenties, and performed a literature review to analyze the clinicopathological features of...
