Abstract : Pancreas divisum is the most common congenital pancreatic ductal anomaly resulting from failure of fusion of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic ducts. Although frequently asymptomatic, it may present with recurrent abdominal pain or pancreatitis. We report a case of a 17-year-old female presenting with recurrent abdominal pain and non-bilious vomiting, diagnosed with Type A pancreas divisum on MRCP and managed conservatively with favorable clinical recovery. This case highlights the importance of early radiological diagnosis and the role of conservative management in mild presentations.

Keywords : Pancreas Divisum, Recurrent Abdominal Pain, Adolescent, MRCP, Conservative Management.
