Abstract:
Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome is a circumferential interruption of the pancreatic duct. It usually occurs secondary to pancreatitis and carries significant diagnostic and management challenges. We present a case of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome that represented a diagnostic and management dilemma for both medical and surgical teams. The aim of this article is to share a successful management experience of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome with other physicians and to perform a brief but focused literature review on this challenging condition.
