Pancreatic abscess associated with pancreas divisum.
Pancreas divisum has been implicated as a cause of pancreatitis. Pseudocyst development in association with chronic pancreatitis has also been observed in a few patients with this anomaly. The association of pancreatic abscess with pancreas divisum has not been observed previously. The case herein reported illustrates a coincidental finding of pancreas divisum in a patient who presented with a pancreatic abscess.
