We report the case of a 30 year old woman with recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis secondary to pancreas divisum. The diagnosis was established 18 years after the initiation of her symptomatology. She denied a family history of pancreatic disease and had no risk factors in her personal history. Diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. She was surgically treated by means of a sphincteroplasty of the minor papillae with excellent results. After three years of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic.
