title: Ventral pancreatitis defined on MRI.
abstract: Ventral pancreatitis, pancreatitis localized in the embryologic ventral pancreas, is rare. To date, only three well documented reports of ventral pancreatitis have been reported in the English-language literature. All three were associated with pancreas divisum. This report presents a patient suspected to have ventral pancreatitis on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.
