Abstrakt: This case report focuses on a 29-year-old female who presented with acute abdominal pain at Mater Dei Hospital, Malta. Her clinical presentation, followed up by diagnostic imaging, led to the diagnosis of a rare congenital abnormality known as dorsal agenesis of the pancreas. This condition is characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the dorsal portion of the pancreas, a crucial aspect of pancreatic anatomy and function. The following text details the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and the broader implications of dorsal pancreatic agenesis in medical practice, reflecting on the rarity of this condition and the complexity of its diagnosis and management.
