Ansa pancreatica is a rare anatomical variation of the pancreatic duct system, characterized by a reversed S-shaped loop that connects the main pancreatic duct to the minor papilla. Its clinical significance, particularly with recurrent acute pancreatitis, has been a subject of interest, but remains poorly understood due to the rarity of reported cases. We report the case of a 34-year-old female with a history of multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis, diagnosed with ansa pancreatica using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Fortunately, the majority of these pancreatic ductal anomalies are asymptomatic with no clinical relevance and are incidentally detected during diagnostic cross-sectional imaging or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or autopsy. Occasionally, pancreatic duct anomalies can result in symptoms like abdominal pain or recurrent pancreatitis.
