    Abstract:
    Complete Annular pancreas (AP) is a rare congenital anomaly, often presented and operated at the early age of life. Adult presentation group usually presents with either biliary or duodenal or pancreatic symptoms. We report a case of 43 years old female presenting with concurrent enteric, biliary and pancreatic symptoms admitted on April 2016 in Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Department of BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A complete type of annular pancreas with partial duodenal stenosis and dilated common bile duct was observed during laparotomy. We performed gastrojejunostomy as well as hepaticojejunostomy (Roux-en-Y anastomosis). Patient was discharged in a good symptom free condition. Complete Annular Pancreas can present at any age, with any one or all of the biliary, pancreatic or duodenal symptoms. Surgery is the treatment of choice and has a good outcome.
