| Abstract |
The genesis of the "complex type" classification of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is unclear, and the pancreaticobiliary anatomy is also varied according to each case. We encountered a patient with PBM and incomplete pancreatic divisum (PD). We herein discussed about the embryological etiology of pancreaticobiliary system predicted from PBM with incomplete PD. A 67-year-old man was found to have a dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) during a medical examination at 62 years of age. The dilatation of the CBD subsequently progressed, and he was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a dilatation from the common hepatic duct to the middle bile duct with PBM. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography from the papilla of Vater revealed the pancreatic main duct via the pancreatic branch duct, and PBM with dilatation of the CBD and incomplete PD were revealed. We performed an extrahepatic bile duct resection and hepaticojejunostomy because of high risk of malignant transformation. Taping and transection of the bile duct without dilatation on the pancreatic side were performed, and thereafter, two orifices of the common channel and ventral pancreatic duct were ligated. The level of amylase in the bile was 7217 IU/L, and a histological examination of the CBD showed an inflammatory change of CBD, not a malignant transformation. It is somewhat easy to identify the pancreatobiliary anatomy when the cause of embryology of both PBM and PD is thought to be an abnormal embryology of the ventral pancreas. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,645,475
of 23,098,660 outputs
Outputs from BMC Surgery
#630
of 1,340 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,584
of 331,122 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Surgery
#11
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,098,660 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,340 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.8. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,122 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
