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 thehigh 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 ofthe 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).
Figure3.2 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.
Figure3.3 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 ismostly compensated. To date, two children withtrypsinogen 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].
Figure3.5 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 thePancreas
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 andOther 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].

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 ofPancreatic 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

produced by the duct cells in response to stimulation with secretin (Fig.4.1b, c).

Figure4.1 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 basal membrane and it is indicated that the net transport event is uptake of Cl simply occurs through a Cl potential difference. The Na the transport of cations (K

concentration ([Ca2+]i), which in turn activates Cl+ channels in the apical (luminal) membrane and K+ channels in the
transport. The Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter, the K+ channel, and the Na+/K+ pump are shown in the
channel. The lower cell illustrates the overall electrical circuit and explains the transepithelial electrical

(cation exit) current has to be matched by an inward (anion exit) current across the apical membrane and the completion of the circuit depends on the high conductance of the so- called tight junctions (TJs).

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
2+
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
