Periampullary Diverticula Causing Recurrent Pancreatitis: A Case Report

Acute p­ancreatitis (AP) is increasingly rising globally, especially among elderly populations. In many cases, AP can progress to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cause damage to the pancreas. Common causes of AP include gallstones and alcoholic injury, but periampullary diverticula (PAD) have emerged...

description Acute p­ancreatitis (AP) is increasingly rising globally, especially among elderly populations. In many cases, AP can progress to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cause damage to the pancreas. Common causes of AP include gallstones and alcoholic injury, but periampullary diverticula (PAD) have emerged as a complex etiology. PADs are rare bowel-filled outpouchings located near the main papilla or common bile duct (CBD). In this study, we present a 66-year-old female with recurrent pancreatitis that is caused by a PAD. Due to the paucity of information regarding the management of PADs, we hope this case highlights the need to advance treatment options in this area.
