Anomalous pancreatobiliary ductal union (APBDU) is a congenital pancreatic anomaly resulting from an abnormally long (>1.5 cm) common channel between the terminal ends of the bile duct and pancreatic duct. The putative mechanism is bile reflux into the pancreatic duct, which may result in pancreatitis. APBDU can be diagnosed on MRCP or ERCP. The causal association of APBDU with pancreatitis has not been proven.
