title: A case of hereditary pancreatitis and pancreas divisum.
abstract: Hereditary pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis inherited as an autosomal dominant. Pancreas divisum results from a developmental failure of fusion of the dorsal and ventral parts of the pancreas and is associated with an increased incidence of pancreatitis. Co-existence of the two conditions in one patient is very rare. We report a case.
