MRCP showed good performance in visualizing ductal
anomalies, and patients with santorinicele had higher risks of developing pancreatitis
compared with those with wirsungocele. Additionally, santorinicele
itself might be more closely associated with pancreatitis than with PD.
Figure 2. Wirsungocele
visualized as a saccular dilatation of the distal ventral duct just proximal to
the major papilla (white arrow).

visualized as a saccular dilatation of the distal dorsal duct just proximal
to the minor papilla (white arrow); ventral ductal invisible indicates a
complete pancreas divisum.
