The most common and accurate way of diagnosing an individual with this anomaly is by an [[ERCP]]. This test can demonstrate the presence of two separately draining ducts within the pancreas.


A majority of individuals born with pancreas divisum will never have symptoms for their entire life. In most cases, pancreas divisum is only detected during an autopsy of a person that is deceased. However, approximately 1% of those with pancreas divisum will develop symptoms during their lifetime. Symptoms commonly include [[abdominal pain]], [[nausea]] and/or [[vomiting]], and [[pancreatitis]]. A small number of individuals may develop [[chronic pancreatitis]].
