She presented with features of acute pancreatitis which was managed conservatively and imaging showed features of chronic pancreatitis with dilated pancreatic duct and pancreas divisum was suggested. She had two further episodes of acute pancreatitis and was managed conservatively. Pancreatic stenting was suggested but during ERCP minor papillae couldn't be identified. Hence, EUS guided Rendez - vous pancreatic duct puncture and minor papillae stenting was done with the help of a modified cannula.
