Biography: Jamal Abdulkarim
Abstract
Recognition of pancreatic anomalies on imaging is essential as they may be of clinical relevance and are potential causes of recurrent pancreatitis or gastric outlet obstruction in patients.
We describe a ‘V shaped pancreas’, a pancreatic anomaly that resembles canine pancreatic anatomy that, to the best of our knowledge, has not previously been described in humans.
We will also review pancreatic embryological development and anatomy, including common variants.
