case_images: Arterial phase abdominal dynamic CT showing pancreatic enlargement (white arrow), an enhanced density of retroperitoneal adipose tissue, and retroperitoneal fluid retention (white arrow heads). CT showed no areas of poor contrast in the pancreatic parenchyma, dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, or calcified stones.

case_images: C-reactive protein (CRP) (17.02 mg/dL) and amylase (625 U/L), and he developed abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT confirmed pancreatic enlargement and the presence of peripancreatic fluid, consistent with AP, although no gallstones were detected (Figure 1).
case_images: T2-weighted coronal image of incomplete pancreatic divisum showing dorsal pancreatic duct (white arrow) connecting to the ductus Santorini (white arrow heads) and opening into the accessory pancreatic duct. The ventral pancreatic duct (black arrow) is thin and considered an incomplete type of pancreatic divisum.

case_images: In this case, the findings of abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) imaging provided evidence to indicate pancreatic divisum (Figure 2).
