Annular Pancreas
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a newborn or an adult has digestive complaints that require study, various specialists may be involved; one of the possible causes is annular pancreas.
Annular pancreas is an anomaly present from birth in which pancreatic tissue partially or completely surrounds the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine, and can hinder the passage of food.
Common symptoms: It may go unnoticed or show up with vomiting, food intolerance, fullness, or pain in the upper abdomen, depending on the degree of narrowing.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist guides the digestive study, the endocrinologist assesses pancreatic function, and the general surgeon steps in when the obstruction needs to be corrected. It is worth discussing these symptoms with one of these professionals to define the most appropriate management.
