Annular pancreas is a rare congenital condition in which a ring of ectopic pancreatic tissue partially or completely surrounds the second part of the duodenum [1]. This Congenital anomaly is usually presented in infants and newborn, rarely in adult life. It can present in a wide range of clinical severities making it difficult to diagnose. CT scan can illustrate the pancreatic tissue encircling the duodenum. Surgery still remains necessary to confirm diagnosis and bypassing the obstructed segment. We report the case of a 22 years old female patient who presented with history of vomiting and weight loss causing a stature weight growth delay, the diagnosis was made by the CT scan. Then the patient was scheduled for a gastroenteroanastomosis. The evolution was favorable.
