Abstract
The Vaterian system consists of the common bile duct and the duct of Wirsung as they conjoin at the level of the duodenum, forming the major papilla of Vater. A double papilla of Vater with separate openings that form the bile duct and the pancreatic duct is a rare anatomic anomaly, which is observed in 0.18% of patients during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. When a double papilla is noted, the additional problem is to determine if it is an anatomic variant or a choledochoduodenal fistula. We report two cases of a double papilla; one was associated with choledocholithiasis, and the other was identified incidentally during screening upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
