Annular pancreas is a rare developmental anomaly. Partial annular pancreas is less known and is very rare. A band of pancreatic tissue continues from the pancreatic head and incompletely encircles the pancreas. This typically gives a “crocodile jaw” configuration. In symptomatic cases patients present mostly in 3rd to 6th decade of their life, with abdominal pain, postprandial fullness, vomiting, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and in rare instances, biliary obstruction. The person can also be asymptomatic; in that case it will be an incidental finding. We are presenting a case of partial annular pancreas causing nonspecific symptoms. This was an incidental finding, studied and managed in a tertiary care centre.
