Core Tip	Ansa pancreatica is a rare anatomical variation of the accessory pancreatic duct and was hypothesized to be a predisposing factor for pancreatitis. However its in vivo prevalence was unknown and no case-control study has confirmed its clinical significance. This study is the first case-control study to determine the non-biased prevalence and provide robust evidence that the presence of ansa pancreatica is significantly associated with recurrent acute pancreatitis, using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging.
