Title:Annular pancreas concurrent with pancreaticobiliary maljunction presented
with symptoms until adult age: case report with comparative data on pediatric
cases
Version: 1Date:17 September 2013
Reviewer: Julius Spicak
Reviewer's report:
Discretionary revisions
Basically, this is a well done case report contributing to our knowledge about
annular pancreas. It does not need much to add. I agree that annular pancreas is
a rare congenital anomaly that usually manifests in childhood by duodenal
obstruction, but even in adulthood this manifestation is probably more frequent
than pancreatitis. The first symptoms can appear even at the age above sixty.
What might be of note is the frequent association not only with PBMJ but also
with other malformations including duodenal diverticuklum, Ehlers Danlos
Syndrom etc. According to my opinion, the so called portal annular oancreas also
should be mentioned.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
