Figure 1

Santorinicele with and without pancreas divisum. Santorinicele was defined as a focal saccular dilatation of the terminal end of the dorsal pancreatic duct (solid arrows), and classified into two patterns according to the presence or absence of pancreas divisum: (A) santorinicele without pancreas divisum pathophysiology (SWOPP) and (B) santorinicele with pancreas divisum (SWPD). (C) Dorsal pancreatic duct with spindle-type dilatation (dotted arrow) was not considered as a santorinicele because it has different pathophysiology. CBD, common bile duct; DD, dorsal (pancreatic) duct; VD, ventral (pancreatic) duct.
