Presentation
Clinical description The severity of the disease depends on the amount of functional pancreatic tissue present. [orpha.net]
Perfect for radiologists who need a comprehensive reference while working on difficult cases, it presents a complete yet concise overview of imaging applications, findings, and interpretation in every anatomic area. [books.google.de]
On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are [icd10data.com]
With partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas, the size of the body of the pancreas varies, there is a remnant of the duct of Santorini, and the minor duodenal papilla is present. [radiopaedia.org]
Gastrointestinal

Reversal of impaired GIP and insulin secretion in patients with pancreatogenic steatorrhea following enzyme substitution. Diabetologia 19:198-204, 1980. PMID: 6997121. Ewald N, Bretzel RG. [pancreapedia.org]
Depending on the degree of agenesis, patients can also present with pancreatic insufficiency (diabetes mellitus and steatorrhea). [clinicalgate.com]
The steatorrhea, which is a manifestation of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, is managed with supplementation of pancreatic enzymes (lipase). [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Skin
- Ulcer
This anomaly is usually asymptomatic and occurs as an incidental finding on gastroscopy, although complications such as ulceration, bleeding, intussusception and obstruction may develop. [kjronline.org]
[…] asymptomatic for life one half of patients become symptomatic at birth or during the first year of life with signs of duodenal obstruction Adults may present with abdominal pain, nausea postprandial fullness, vomiting, upper GI bleeding (from peptic ulceration [slideshare.net]
On upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, no peptic ulcer disease was found. He underwent MRI and MRCP (Avanto 1.5T, Siemens) to exclude associated choledocholithiasis before undergoing cholecystectomy. [ijri.org]
There was no previous history of peptic ulcer diseases, hepatobiliary disease, cholecystitis with gallstones or pancreatitis. On admission, her abdomen was soft and not distended, but was tender to deep palpation in the epigastric region. [kjim.org]
For patients with the intramural type, symptoms are those of duodenal ulceration. [pubs.rsna.org]

Workup
Make a comprehensive diagnostic workup with data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. Effectively grasp complex topics and streamline decision- making by using extensive tables, graphs, and flowcharts. [books.google.de]
Treatment
Management and treatment Management involves treatment of the diabetes and exocrine deficiency, when present. Prognosis The prognosis for patients is variable, depending on the quality of treatment received. [orpha.net]
Make the best clinical decisions with an enhanced emphasis on evidence-based practice and expert opinions on treatment strategies. Zero in on the most relevant and useful references with the aid of a more focused, concise bibliography. [books.google.com]
Incorporate the latest findings and improvements in care for liver disease patients —from diagnosis and treatment through post-treatment strategies and management of complications. Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. [books.google.de]
This additional treatment has been clearly shown to enhance survival from pancreatic cancer. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis for patients is variable, depending on the quality of treatment received. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
PROGNOSIS 40% mortality in infants because of associated congenital anomalies 34. [slideshare.net]
Patients with this type of cancer still have a dismal prognosis (20% 5-year survival rate with surgery and 5% without). [clinicalgate.com]
Etiology
Etiology Pancreatic agenesis has been associated with mutations in the PDX1 gene (13q12.1), which encodes the insulin promoter factor-1 (IPF-1) transcription factor. [orpha.net]
We sequenced GATA6 in the remaining 171 patients in whom no genetic etiology had been identified. [diabetes.diabetesjournals.org]
The etiology of the abdominal pain of congenital abnormality of the pancreas is unknown and has been presumed to be due to pancreatitis or autonomic neuropathy similar to that in patients with diabetes mellitus. [5 ] Diabetes was present in most of the [tropicalgastro.com]
SPINK1 and/or CFTR mutations (38)), as well as idiopathic causes when no clear etiology is identified. [pancreapedia.org]
These findings may have clinical relevance with a possible increased risk for intestinal volvulus, diabetes mellitus or pancreatitis.The certain underlying etiology of polysplenia is unknown. [clinmedjournals.org]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology It is a rare disorder with only around 50 cases being reported in the literature so far. Clinical description The severity of the disease depends on the amount of functional pancreatic tissue present. [orpha.net]
