Description

1. SUMMARY Pancreas divisum originally referred to the double-pan creas formed as the dorsal pancreas cannot be fused with the ventral pancreas, a rare congenital malformation. While in nowadays its definition is broadened to be a kind of congenital dysplasia, the most common congenital variation in the development process of pancreatic duct, and usually refers to the infusion of ventral pancreatic duct and dorsal pancreatic duct in the process of development [1]. Initially, researchers found that the probability of PD among idiopathic pancreatitis patients is higher. Cotton [2] once reported that it is found that there were 3.6% of 169 patients who took pancreatography examination because of biliary tract diseases have got pancreas divisum; in addition, there is 25.6% of idiopathic pancreatitis patients have got pancreas divisum found through pancreatography examination [3]. And someone thought that PD may occur at any age and the incidence of PD among crowds is at a rate of about 10% [4]. The clinical manifestations of PD, a congenital anatomic abnormality, include non-symptom, relapsing pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and severe acute pancreatitis, and its diagnostic methods rely mainly on the imaging examination technologies such as ERCP, B-Ultrasound, MRCP, S-MRCP and CT, etc. Through research on the level of genes, it is found that CFTR is a risk factor causing PD. This paper will discuss the research progress of these diagnostic methods of PD.
