Case Discussion
This patient was complaining of recurrent abdominal pain secondary to attacks of idiopathic pancreatitis. An MRCP was done in between attacks and revealed a pancreas divisum, a variation in pancreatic ductal anatomy that can be associated with abdominal pain and idiopathic pancreatitis.
