Dorsal Agenesis of Pancreas Manifesting Clinically as Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Rare Case Study

There have been reports of several developmental anomalies of the pancreas in the past two decades, and among these, one of the rare entities is dorsal agenesis of the pancreas [1]. Our report is on an 18-year-old male patient who presented with total agenesis of the dorsal pancreas. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a normal pancreatic head, but there was no observation of the body and tail of the pancreas. A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) confirmed the absence of the major pancreatic duct. This case was diagnosed as dorsal agenesis of the pancreas. As this is a very unusual case, this has been reported here as a case study due to its rare presentation.
