Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 May;115(5):270-271. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.9103/2022.

Abstract

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anatomical abnormality of the pancreas. The diagnosis is mainly based on CT and MRI. The development of endoscopic technology provides a new basis for the diagnosis of annular pancreas. We report the images of the diagnosis and classification of annular pancreas under endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) in our center.
