So here we have a case, uh, adult patient
0:03
here, which is presenting with pain in abdomen.
0:07
And as we scroll through the coronal
0:08
images on T2-weighted sequences, we can see the
0:13
main pancreatic duct is draining where it is
0:16
expected to, the major papilla, along with the CVD.
0:21
And the pancreas is showing a normal
0:22
homogeneous pattern, which is expected
0:24
on T2 with lobulations present.
0:27
But as soon as we scroll further, we
0:29
can see there is some tissue outside the
0:33
lateral wall of the duodenum as well.
0:37
And that looks kind of hazy here,
0:40
that gives a suspicion and then we
0:41
can see the duct actually within that
0:43
tissue, which is encircling the duodenum.
0:46
And that raises the suspicion that it
0:48
is possibly a case of annular pancreas.
0:51
What we will do here, we will pick up axial
0:54
and try to find if it is a real finding.
0:57
And we see again the tissue is present, so this is
1:01
the duodenal lumen and tissue is present outside.
1:06
On T2-weighted fat suppress images,
1:08
the contrast between the fat-suppressed
1:11
retroperitoneal fat itself is not great.
1:14
So sometimes these findings are not really well
1:16
seen, but this case is actually very classical.
1:19
We can see the entire ring and if you
1:21
really have a doubt still, we can go
1:23
to the post-contrast images and see
1:25
if there is real tissue there or not.
1:28
And we can see the duodenal lumen is present here
1:30
and that enters the parenchyma and then we
1:33
see the parenchymal tissue is going outwards
1:37
towards the lumen and that confirms that it is.
1:40
See, we can see here, the tissue is outside
1:43
the duodenal wall and the lumen, and that is
1:47
a classical presentation of annular pancreas.
1:50
In this patient, we have seen some complex cystic
1:52
lesions in the splenic dome as well, and they
1:56
are complex, and they are showing multilocules,
1:59
there is some enhancing septation inside, and
2:02
that is basically lymphangioma of the spleen,
2:04
that is incidentally seen in this patient.
