An Unusual Presentation of Pancreatic Dorsal Agenesis

Abstract

Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. Besides, polysplenia syndrome concomitant with situs inversus totalis and distal pancreatic hypoplasia are rare congenital anomalies. We aimed to present such a rare congenital variation with computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography findings
