Core Tip
Core Tip: Annular pancreas (AP) is a rare congenital abnormal rotation of the pancreas. AP is related to the occurrence of duodenal ulcers, pancreatitis, and digestive system tumors. In this study, the clinical manifestations, imaging features, complications, and treatment of AP were analyzed. If the imaging results show the “crocodile jaw sign”, the vigilance of congenital malformed AP should be increased for patients with digestive system obstruction.
