Acute pancreatitis in children in Japan is often caused by an anatomical abnormality of the pancreatic and bile duct, resulting in fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Crohn's disease, however, is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory bowel disease with ulcerative lesions of the intestinal tract of unknown cause that occurs mainly in young people, with symptoms similar to those of acute pancreatitis. We report a case of acute pancreatitis diagnosed in a patient not only with incomplete fusion of the pancreatic duct but also with Crohn's disease.

In clinical cases of pancreas divisum, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography often necessitates cannulation of the pancreatic duct through the minor papilla. Nevertheless, this procedure can be challenging because of the small size of the minor papilla and the difficulty in visualizing the ductal orifice. A new image-enhanced endoscopy technique called texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) has been developed, which enhances texture, brightness, and color compared with white-light imaging, resulting in subtle differences in the surface mucosa.

Objectives: Pancreatic divisum (PD) is the second most common congenital abnormality of the pancreatic duct, which affects 2% to 3% of the population. Most of the population remains asymptomatic, but in people who present with symptoms, it can be a cause of anguish and should be recognized. The main goal of this article was to provide a comprehensive picture of clinical and epidemiological methods of diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Metastasis to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract should always be a consideration when melanoma, particularly metastatic disease, is diagnosed. While metastasis to the small intestine is common, given its rich blood supply, metastasis to the pancreatic ducts is extremely rare. In patients with pancreatic divisum, disease spread to the minor papilla can greatly increase the chance of developing pancreatitis due to the potential for increased pancreatic intraductal pressure.
