Hemobilia Diagnosed by Percutaneous Ultrasonography and Treated by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with contrast ultrasonography.

index of 50 was admitted to our intensive care unit with the clinical appearance of severe biliary pancreatitis. Bedside ultra− sonography was difficult due to the pa− tient’s obesity but revealed a dilated common bile duct (l" Fig. 1). Convention− al endoscopic retrograde cholangiogra− phy (ERC) with X−rays was considered impossible due to the obesity. Bedside endosonography (EG 383OUT; Pentax...

Retroperitoneal neurogenic tumor diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography.

Case series of papillectomy by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Ampullary neoplasms are one of the causes of obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is useful procedure for diagnosing and tissue sampling of ampullary neoplasms. Ampullectomy by resecting entire ampulla provides whole lesion for pathologic evaluation and also is appropriate for real pathologic staging for further management decision but ampullectomy conside...

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in biloma--a rendezvous procedure.

A 54-year-old man presented with jaundice and an elevated serum bilirubin level of 11.86mg/dL after radiofrequency ablation of hepatic metastases from rectal carcinoma. A high-grade stenosis at the common bile duct (CBD) was diagnosed on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC), and computed tomography showed a 7-cm intrahepatic biloma compressing the CBD (●" Fig.1). A subsequent attempt to ...

Gastric Schwannoma Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography-Guided Trucut Biopsy

Schwannomas of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are rare subepithelial tumors comprising approximately 3.3% to 12.8% of all mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. On endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) they are seen as hypoechoic tumors arising most commonly from the 4th proper muscle layer. Although EUS helps to distinguish tumor characteristics, tissue sampling is required for differentiation with other ...
