Abstract
Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that can remain asymptomatic until adulthood or manifest with various digestive symptoms. Its association with chronic pancreatitis is uncommon but clinically significant. We report the case of a 63-year-old patient in whom investigations revealed an acute episode of pancreatitis on a chronic background associated with an annular pancreas, a rare combination. This case highlights the importance of imaging, particularly CT scans, in diagnosing this association and optimizing therapeutic management.
