Acute recurrent pancreatitis is a rare entity in children. It can be caused by a number of reasons, anatomical variations being one of them. Panctreatica divisum is the most common form of ductal anomaly while ansa pancreatica has been the least studied and explored. In recurrent pancreatitis, Ansa Pancreatica was recently found to be a key risk factor. It is usually found among adult alcoholics. We submit the report of a rare but important cause of acute recurrent pancreatitis; an 11-year-old child with 2 previous episodes of pancreatitis was diagnosed with ansa pancreati ca on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). He was advised to get stenting of Pancreatic duct. To the best of our belief, only another case has been reported in the paediatric population.
