Annular pancreas is frequently associated with other
anomalies such as duodenal stenosis or atresia (40%),
tracheoesophageal fistula (9%), congenital heart defects
(7%), intestinal malrotation, and anal atresia [17]. A
considerable number of affected individuals have
chromosomal disorders, particularly Down syndrome
(11–16%)[18]. This suggests that annular pancreas represents an early embryologic malformation. Agenesis of
the dorsal pancreas may also be associated with annular
pancreas[17].
Although most cases of annular pancreas are sporadic,
there have been some cases of familial recurrence with
different patterns of transmission. Annular pancreas can
be found in Mitchell–Riley syndrome, in Martinez–Frias
syndrome, and in congenital alveolar capillary dysplasia
with misalignment of pulmonary veins[19].
Annular pancreas may manifest at any age or remain
asymptomatic. The majority of symptomatic cases present in the first week of life as duodenal compression
with bilious vomiting and feeding intolerance[18]. The
diagnosis is suggested in >50% of cases during prenatal
ultrasonography. A plain abdominal radiograph may
demonstrate two large air filled spaces, the so-
called
“double- bubble” sign, if the obstruction is complete: Due
to post- duodenal obstruction not only the stomach but
also the upper duodenum is filled with gas.
Patients in whom annular pancreas becomes symptomatic later in life may suffer from recurrent vomiting,
chronic gastric distension, pain resulting from pancreatitis, or peptic ulcers[20]. Upper gastrointestinal studies
or a contrast- enhanced CT or MRI, which allow direct
visualization of the ring, can aid the diagnosis.
Surgical therapy with duodenal bypass either in the
form of a duodeno- duodenostomy or a duodenojejunostomy eliminates the obstruction with an excellent
long- term prognosis[18]. Resection of the ring is not recommended because of the risk of pancreatic peritonitis,
postoperative pancreatitis, fistulae, and late fibrosis. The
prognosis depends on the age of onset and shows the
highest mortality in the newborn period due to thehigh
proportion of other coexisting organ malformations.
The estimated incidence varies from about 4–14% in
autopsy series. Diagnosis relies on MRCP, especially
secretin-
enhanced MRCP. Endoscopic ultrasound and
ERCP are invasive second- line investigations (Fig.3.2).
The clinical significance of the pancreas divisum is disputed: while some consider it an insignificant normal
variant, others postulate that the narrow opening of the
minor papilla leads to a relative, functional stenosis and
thus predisposes to obstructive pancreatitis. Since the
prevalence in patients with chronic pancreatitis is similar to the frequency in the population, it is unlikely to
cause pancreatitis alone[21]. Thus, other exogenous or
genetic factors probably must be present. Interestingly,
PRSS1, SPINK1, and CFTR mutations are more common
in patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreas divisum than in patients without this anomaly [22]. In
chronic pancreatitis, the question arises whether endoscopic sphincterotomy and stent insertion at the minor
papilla is beneficial and influences the natural course[23].
Anomalies ofthe Pancreaticobiliary Junction
The junction of the main duct of the pancreas with the
bile duct is also very variable and most abnormalities are
harmless variations in the norm and are incidental
Pancreas Divisum
The fusion of the ventral and dorsal pancreas also merges
the ducts of both parts of the gland. As a result, various
anatomical variants of the pancreatic duct system can
occur. In pancreas divisum, the most common anatomic
variant, there is a separate outflow of the ventral part into
the major papilla and the dorsal part via the Santorini duct
into the minor papilla, which drains about 80% of the pancreatic juice[12]. Sometimes a small side branch connects
both duct systems (incomplete pancreas divisum).
Figure3.2 Pancreas divisum on ERCP. Whereas the intra- and
extrahepatic bile ducts are of regular size and proportions, the
pancreatic duct is short and tender (already overfilled with
contrast medium) and supplies only the head of the pancreas.

findings on endoscopy, ERCP, or MRI/MRCP [24].
Pancreaticobiliary maljunctions, in which the common
bile duct and the ventral pancreatic duct unite outside
the duodenal wall, result in a long common segment
(long common channel) found in 1.5–3% of individuals [25]. This promotes the reflux of pancreatic secretions into the bile duct, as shown by dynamic MRCP
after secretin stimulation. Reflux can lead to biliary duct
inflammation and dilatation with choledochal cyst formation, pancreatitis, and, in the long term, malignant
transformation resulting in biliary carcinoma. The incidence of pancreatitis is 3–31% in patients with pancreaticobiliary abnormalities[26]. The reflux of bile into the
pancreatic duct system, conversely, is controversially discussed as a cause of pancreatitis and is less likely since
pancreatic secretion pressure constantly exceeds the bile
duct secretion pressure. Inherited choledochal cysts,
which are often associated with pancreaticobiliary
maljunctions, may manifest as acute or recurrent
pancreatitis.
Congenital Cysts
Most pancreatic cysts are acquired pseudocysts of
inflammatory origin and are found in the context of pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis (Fig.3.3). In contrast, congenital pancreatic cysts are epithelial-
lined and are rare,
accounting for less than 1% of pancreatic cysts diagnosed
in children. However, with improved radiological imaging, the diagnosis of incidental cystic lesions is on the
rise. In a population- based MRCP study, small cysts
(<1 cm) of unknown etiology were found in about a quarter of healthy volunteers (mean age 51.9 ± 13.4 years)[24].
In children, congenital cysts have a female predominance
and may present as an asymptomatic palpable mass or
with epigastric pain, jaundice, and vomiting by the compression of adjacent intestinal or biliary structures[27].
Symptoms often appear in the first two years of life. The
cysts are more frequently located in the pancreatic tail or
body than in the head, are more often unilocular than
multilocular, and more often single than multiple [28].
Ductal communication is rare and, if present, suggests a
pancreatitis-
associated pseudocyst. The cysts are usually
anechoic on ultrasound and are low attenuating structures without wall enhancement in CT or MRI studies.
Associated anomalies may include renal tubular ectasia,
polydactyly, anorectal malformations, polycystic kidneys, and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy[28]. Multiple
pancreatic cysts occur in about 10% of patients with polycystic kidney disease and in 30–70% of patients with
von Hippel- Lindau disease (see below), but the cysts are
rarely congenital in either disease.
Congenital Exocrine Insufficiency
Congenital exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is rare.
Cystic fibrosis, which leads to progressive destruction of
the pancreas and may result in clinical symptoms of
secretory insufficiency from birth, account for the majority of cases with congenital exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Cystic fibrosis and hereditary pancreatitis are
discussed in dedicated chapters of this book.
Congenital exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, if complete, manifests from birth with loose and bulky stools,
steatorrhea, failure to thrive, and hypoproteinemia leading to edema. Due to the large reserve capacity of the exocrine pancreas, clinical symptoms only appear when more
than 90% of the exocrine cells are destroyed [29].
Pancreatic secretory insufficiency reflects either an isolated enzyme deficiency or early- onset degeneration of
acinar cells resulting in fibrosis or lipomatosis of the gland.
Figure3.3 Large cysts in the pancreatic head and tail in a patient
with chronic pancreatitis.
Isolated Enzyme Deficiencies
Isolated inherited deficiencies of pancreatic digestive
enzymes or duodenal enteropeptidase (enterokinase) are
extremely rare. So far, isolated deficiencies of lipase, colipase, amylase, trypsin, and enteropeptidase as well as combined deficiencies of lipase and colipase have been
reported[30]. Of clinical relevance are mainly deficiencies
of trypsin and enteropeptidase, which manifest with failure
to thrive, diarrhea, hypoproteinemia, and edema. In all deficiencies, enzyme replacement therapy is very effective.
When fat- digesting enzymes are affected, chronic diarrhea and steatorrhea are the leading symptoms, but failure
to thrive is absent. Congenital deficiency of pancreatic
lipase (PNLIP) is inherited in an autosomal recessive

manner and is caused by loss- of- function mutations in
PNLIP [31]. Interestingly, PNLIP variants that lead to
increased proteolytic degradation by trypsin are associated with early- onset chronic pancreatitis [32]. Colipase
deficiency has been reported in two brothers and the
combined deficiency of lipase and colipase in another
family and in a single case. Pancreatic amylase deficiency
may lead to diarrhea induced by a high- starch diet, but the
functional capacity of the carbohydrate- digesting enzymes
is quite high, and so the deficiency ismostly compensated.
To date, two children withtrypsinogen and about a dozen
patients with enteropeptidase deficiency have been
described [33]. Enteropeptidase (TMPRSS15) is a transmembrane serine protease that localized to the brush border of the intestinal mucosa. Although enteropeptidase is
not a pancreatic enzyme, its deficiency manifests clinically
as a trypsin defect, since it activates trypsinogen.
Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond Syndrome
After cystic fibrosis, Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond
syndrome (SBDS) is the second most common inherited
cause of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency with an estimated incidence of 1 : 50,000. SBDS is inherited in an
autosomal recessive manner and is characterized by the
triad exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow
dysfunction, and skeletal abnormalities. Histologically,
there is hypoplasia of the acinar cells with replacement
by adipose tissue (lipomatosis) (Fig. 3.4) [34]. The islet
cells and the ductal architecture are preserved. In
contrast to cystic fibrosis, water and bicarbonate secretion are not restricted. Exocrine insufficiency improves
with age: while 90% of infants suffer from steatorrhea,
around half of patients in the second decade of life are
pancreatic sufficient. Neither diabetes nor pancreatitis
are consistent features of SBDS.
The main hematological change is intermittent or
permanent neutropenia, sometimes accompanied by
anemia, thrombocytopenia, or pancytopenia. Infants in
particular are at risk from serious bacterial infections.
About 10–30% of patients develop myelodysplastic
syndrome or acute leukemia[35].
Other manifestations include short stature, skeletal
abnormalities (metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, shortened ribs), enamel defects with increased tooth
decay,liver involvement with hepatomegaly and elevated transaminase levels, and often mild mental
retardation[35].
In 90%, the syndrome is caused by gene conversion
mutations in the SBDS gene[36]. Recently, the elongation factor-
like 1 (EFL1) has been identified as second
disease- causing gene [37]. Moreover, mutations in the
genes encoding the DnaJ heat shock protein family
(Hsp40) member C21 (DNAJC21) and the signal recognition particle 54 (SRP54) have also been associated with
a SBDS- like phenotype[37].
Interestingly, all four genes are involved in ribosome
biogenesis, reinforcing the postulate that the syndrome is
a ribosomopathy. SBDS promotes by direct interaction
with EFL1 the removal of the eukaryotic initiation factor 6
(eIF6) 60S subunit of the ribosome. This allows the 60S
subunit to bind to the 40S subunit to generate a functional
80S ribosome. DNAJC21 is involved in the release of maturation factors from the pre- 60S subunit. SRP54 recognizes the signal peptide of secretory proteins and mediates
the targeting of the ribosome and the associated nascent
polypeptide chain to the endoplasmic reticulum[37].
The diagnosis of SBDS is based on the clinical symptoms, imaging methods (skeletal X- ray, diffuse fatty
degeneration of the pancreas in the MRI) and the
corresponding laboratory parameters and should be
confirmed by a mutation analysis. Because cytopenia
can be cyclic, blood cell status should be measured
repeatedly. Differential diagnoses include cystic
fibrosis and other causes of neutropenia such as
Diamond- Blackfan or Fanconi anemia, and congenital
dyskeratosis.
Treatment is symptomatic. Because exocrine dysfunction improves with age, approximately 50% of patients in
their second decade of life no longer require enzyme
replacement therapy.

sideroblastic anemia with vacuolization of marrow
precursors and variable exocrine pancreatic insufficiency [39]. Severe, transfusion- dependent, macrocytic
anemia usually starts in infancy and may be accompanied by thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Other
features include lactate acidosis, renal tubulopathy, liver
cholestasis and/or fibrosis, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, cardiomegaly, and cardiac conduction
defects [39]. Some patients have recurrent episodes of
acute pancreatitis [39]. In contrast to the Shwachman
syndrome, the pancreas in Pearson syndrome shows
fibrosis instead of lipomatosis. The disorders also differ
in bone marrow morphology. A phenotypic shift from a
predominantly hematopoietic disorder (Pearson syndrome) to a disease with overt muscle dysfunction (mitochondrial myopathy) was repeatedly observed, up to a
fully developed Kearns–Sayre syndrome[39].
In laboratory tests, a subset of patients show complex
organic aciduria with 3- methylglutaconic aciduria.
Therapy is symptomatic and in selected cases bone
marrow transplantation can be considered. The prognosis is poor and patients usually die in early childhood
from intractable metabolic acidosis, sepsis, or liver
failure[39].
Figure3.5 Aplasia of the nasal wings as a characteristic feature or
Johanson–Blizzard syndrome.
Johanson–Blizzard Syndrome
Johanson–Blizzard syndrome (JBS) is characterized by
congenital exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a peculiar
nasal malformation with hypo- or aplasia of the nasal
wings (Fig. 3.5), and oligodontia of permanent
teeth [40]. These three characteristics are present in
virtually all patients[41]. The majority of patients also
present with hearing impairment, scalp defects, varying degrees of cognitive impairment, and short stature.
Hypothyroidism, microcephaly, intrauterine growth
retardation, congenital heart defects, urogenital and
anorectal malformations, renal anomalies, and diabetes
with onset during adolescence are additional features of
the syndrome[41].
The condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive
trait and has an estimated incidence of 1
: 250,000 [42].
JBS is caused by UBR1 mutations that lead to severe deficiency of the homonymous ubiquitin ligase of the N- end
rule pathway[42]. As this pathway is responsible for degradation of intracellular proteins, it is likely that the
excess or increased half- life of hitherto unknown proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of the pancreatic
and other defects. While >95% of patients with a clinical
diagnosis have UBR1 defects, CAPN15 mutations may
cause a phenotype overlapping with JBS.
Histologically, there is an almost complete absence of
acinar cells, which are replaced by fat and connective
tissue, whereas ductal architecture and islets are less
affected. Thus, the ductular output of fluid and electrolytes is preserved, while the secretion of zymogens is
decreased. The acinar cell loss is likely caused by intrauterine destruction, resembling pancreatitis of prenatal
onset [43]. However, UBR1 variants are not associated
with chronic pancreatitis. Ubr1 deficient mice have
milder pancreatic dysfunction such as decreased
zymogen secretion and increased susceptibility to experimental pancreatitis[42].
Diagnosis of JBS is based on the characteristic clinical
picture and can be confirmed by UBR1 sequencing.
Therapy is symptomatic and consists of the substitution
of pancreatic enzymes and, if necessary, of thyroid hormones as well as the provision of hearing aids and surgical correction of the malformations. The prognosis
depends on the associated malformations. Lethal malformations such as bilateral renal dysplasia are rare.
Mental retardation is variable, but about a third of those
affected show normal intelligence.
Other Hereditary Disorders
Affecting thePancreas
Pancreatic abnormalities have been described in a number of congenital or inherited multisystem disorders, in
which they are rarely a cardinal symptom or may even
remain clinically inapparent.

Polycystic Kidney Disease
Multiple cysts of the pancreas can be present in autosomal recessive (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic (ADPKD) disease. Both diseases are genetically
heterogeneous[44]. The estimated incidence of ARPKD
is about 1 to 20,000 and of ADPKD about 1 to 400–
1,000[44]. The clinical presentation of ARPKD is highly
variable. Newborns have markedly enlarged polycystic
kidneys that can be associated with pulmonary hypoplasia. Liver involvement is evident in about half of
infants and comprises cysts and periportal fibrosis.
Pancreatic cysts and pancreatic fibrosis have been
repeatedly reported on imaging or autopsy in children
with ARPKD, but clinical significant pancreatic disease
is exceptional. The same applies to ADPKD, in which
sonographically detectable pancreatic cysts are much
more frequent and are present in about 10% of adult
patients but are rare in infancy. Occasionally, the cysts
may lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatic involvement is typically less severe than renal and hepatic affection.
Von Hippel–Lindau Syndrome
Von Hippel–Lindau syndrome (VHL) is an autosomal
dominant familial cancer syndrome with an estimated
incidence of 1 : 36,000. It is caused by mutations in the
VHL tumor suppressor gene[45], but genetic changes in
cyclin D1 (CCND1) may further modify the phenotype.
About 80% of cases are familial. Affected subjects are at
risk of developing cerebellar, spinal, and retinal hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma, pheochromocytoma,
pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic and renal
cysts, and epididymal cystadenoma[46].
About 35–70% of patients with VHL present with pancreatic findings. Pancreatic cysts are reported in up to 30%
of patients on imaging studies but can be found in up to 72%
of patients at autopsy; however, they are typically not congenital[27]. Involvement ranges from a single cyst to multiple cysts virtually replacing the pancreas. Usually the cysts
are multiple but asymptomatic. These cysts may precede
any other manifestation by several years. In about 12% of
patients, pancreatic cysts are the only sign of the disease.
Serous cystadenomas and neuroendocrine tumors are
other pancreatic manifestations. By replacing the pancreatic parenchyma, cysts and cystadenomas can compress adjacent structures and may cause exocrine or
endocrine deficiency. Neuroendocrine tumors become
malignant and metastatic in 8% of patients [46].
Pancreatic carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the
ampulla of Vater have also been reported.
Beckwith–Wiedemann Syndrome
The cardinal features of Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) are (asymmetric) macrosomia, macroglossia, and exomphalos in the neonate. Pancreatic
hypertrophy is an imaging feature, and severe hypoglycemia due to transient hyperinsulinism occurs in
30–50% of neonates with BWS. Histology of resected
pancreatic tissue shows an increase in the volume of
endocrine relative to acinar tissue with expanded islets
and preservation of lobular architecture [47]. Other
clinical features include abdominal wall defects, ear
anomalies, naevus flammeus, organomegaly, and nephroureteral malformations [48]. About 10% of patients
develop embryonic tumors such as nephroblastoma,
hepatoblastoma, and neuroblastoma during infanc y[48].
Pancreatoblastomas have been described in a few cases
and usually present in infants aged 3 months and
younger. BWS is genetically heterogeneous. Loss or gain
of methylation, paternal uniparental disomy, and
CDKN1C loss- of- function mutations result in epigenetic or genetic defects on chromosome 11p15.5 with
disrupted expression of imprinted genes [48]. About
85% of cases are sporadic.
Jeune Syndrome andOther Ciliopathies
Ciliopathies constitute a large group of multisystem disorders with considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity,
and pancreatic involvement is part of the phenotypic
spectrum. Jeune syndrome (asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy) belongs to the skeletal ciliopathies and is a rare autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia with characteristic
skeletal abnormalities, nephronophthisis, retinal abnormalities, pulmonary insufficiency, and hepatic fibrosis. It
may be associated with pancreatic cysts and pancreatic
fibrosis, leading to exocrine insufficiency[49].
Fibrotic and cystic changes of the pancreas may also be
found in renal-
hepatic- pancreatic dysplasia and in other
ciliopathies[50].

Physiology ofAcinar Cell Secretion

Introduction
The acinar cell is the dominant cell type in the pancreas.
In terms of percentage volume, the pancreas consists of
82% acinar cells, 4% duct cells, 4% blood vessels, 2%
endocrine cells, and 8% extracellular matrix [1]. However,
the acinar cell itself is not the functional unit in the exocrine pancreatic tissue because acinar cells are organized
into acini consisting of up to several hundred acinar cells
linked by numerous gap- junctional channels that allow
both direct chemical and electrical intercellular communication [2,3]. There is an additional cell type that has
not previously featured much in descriptions of acinar
cell function, namely the pancreatic stellate cells (PSC).
These very thin periacinar cells come very close to the
acinar cells, but are nevertheless functionally isolated
from the acinar cells[4–6]. The PSC play an important
role under pathophysiologic conditions where they exert
effects on the acinar cells [4–7], but it is unknown
whether they have any physiologic role in the control of
acinar cell secretion.
The principal function of the acinar cells is to secrete a
potent mixture of digestive enzymes in response to food
intake. This secretory response is mediated by vagal
nerve stimulation, releasing acetylcholine (ACh) from
nerve endings close to the acinar cells, and the circulating hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). The digestive (pro)
enzymes are packaged into secretory vesicles called
zymogen granules (ZG) and the secretion process itself
occurs by exocytosis, that is, fusion of the granule membrane with the apical (luminal) cell membrane and subsequent opening of a pathway (pore) allowing direct
movement of the zymogens from the granule interior to
the acinar lumen[7]. In order to move the zymogens into
the duct system and thereafter into the gut, there is also
a need for fluid secretion. The acinar cells secrete a neu-
−
tral Cl
with ACh and CCK [7,8]. Additionally, the small ducts
secrete a HCO
- rich fluid, produced in response to stimulation
−
- rich fluid when stimulated by the hor-
3
mone secretin[7]. The aim of this chapter is to explain
the cellular mechanisms underlying the very acute and
finely controlled normal physiologic regulation of acinar
fluid and enzyme secretion.
Composition ofPancreatic
Acinar Juice
ACh or CCK activates acinar cells to secrete an isotonic
NaCl- rich fluid (Fig. 4.1a) containing a multitude of
enzymes and precursor enzymes. The protease precursors
are trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and procarboxypeptidases. These precursors are activated in the small
intestine, initiated by conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin
by the intestinal enzyme enteropeptidase. Trypsin then
activates trypsinogen autocatalytically and also activates
the other precursors. The acinar fluid also contains active
amylase, lipases, and colipase as well as various other
αenzymes (e.g., collagenase, elastase, phospholipase A, and
ribonuclease)[11]. The neutral NaCl- rich fluid containing
these enzymes and enzyme precursors is delivered to the
small ducts, where it is mixed with the HCO
−
- rich fluid
3
produced by the duct cells in response to stimulation with
secretin (Fig.4.1b, c).
Acinar Fluid andEnzyme Secretion
There is separate control of acinar and duct secretion, as
shown in experiments on the isolated perfused pancreas

Figure4.1 Fluid and enzyme secretion from acinar cells. (a) Acinar transport model illustrating the individual ion transport events that
work together to produce an isotonic NaCl- rich fluid. For graphical convenience, different aspects of the processes are shown in separate
cells. In the top cell it is shown that ACh or CCK binding to their respective specific receptors on the basolateral membrane elicits a rise in
the cytosolic Ca
basolateral membrane (for graphical convenience all events in the basolateral membrane are shown only in the basal membrane). The
middle cell illustrates transcellular Cl

It is well established that exocytosis in general is
activated by a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+]i)[7,11]. In nerve and endocrine cells, exocytosis
is normally activated by Ca2+ entering the cell interior
via special voltage- activated Ca

channels in the
plasma membrane, which open on membrane depolarization caused by action potentials [11]. However, the
pancreatic acinar cell is electrically nonexcitable and
cannot fire action potentials [12]. Ca
