title: Aberrant insertion of the common bile duct into an accessory pancreatic duct: cholangiographic demonstration.
abstract: Variations in the pancreatic ductal anatomy result from abnormalities in embryological development of the pancreas from ventral and dorsal buds. We describe a case in which cholangiography demonstrated insertion of the common bile duct into an aberrant pancreatic duct. To our knowledge, this finding has not been previously reported in the literature.
