Acute p-ancreatitis (AP) is increasingly rising globally, especially among elderly populations. In many cases, AP can progress to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cause damage to the pancreas. Common causes of AP include gallstones and alcoholic injury, but periampullary diverticula (PAD) have emerged as a complex etiology. PADs are rare bowel-filled outpouchings located near the main papilla or common bile duct (CBD). In this study, we present a 66-year-old female with recurrent pancreatitis that is caused by a PAD. Due to the paucity of information regarding the management of PADs, we hope this case highlights the need to advance treatment options in this area.
急性胰腺炎（AP）在全球范围内日益增多，尤其是在老年人群中。在许多情况下，AP可进展为慢性胰腺炎（CP）并对胰腺造成损害。AP的常见病因包括胆结石和酒精性损伤，但壶腹周围憩室（PAD）已成为一种复杂的病因。PAD是位于主乳头或胆总管（CBD）附近的罕见的充满肠内容物的憩室。在本研究中，我们报告了一名66岁女性，其复发性胰腺炎由PAD引起。由于关于PAD治疗的信息匮乏，我们希望这个病例能凸显在这一领域推进治疗方案的必要性。
