Pancreatic tuberculosis with common bile duct and pancreatic duct dilatation

Common bile duct stones associated with pancreatobiliary reflux and disproportionate bile duct dilatation

Occult pancreatobiliary reflux (PBR) in patients with a normal pancreatobiliary junction has been studied by various methods, but the exact etiology, mechanisms, and implications of this reflux have not yet been clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of PBR and patterns of biliary ductal dilatation in patients with acute calculous cholangitis by endoscopic retrograde cho...

Unexpected drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst through the common bile duct

We herein report the unexpected spontaneous communication of a pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) with the common bile duct (CBD) detected during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in a 56-yearold female patient. Complete cyst drainage was achieved after endoscopic sphincterotomy and CBD stent placement. A 56-year-old woman hospitalized elsewhere with a 4-week history of acute gallst...

Tuberculosis of the Common Bile Duct

The intrahepatic biliary tree can occasionally be infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but tuberculosis of the common bile duct has not previously been reported. A 38-year-old man with obstructive jaundice, who was originally thought to have cholangiocarcinoma associated with opisthorchiasis (a common combination in Thailand), was finally proved to have tuberculosis of the common bile duct w...

Dilatation of the common bile duct and gallstone formation.

Cystic dilatation of common bile duct. Case report and review.

The cystic dilatation of the common bile duct is a rare disease in Europe and in the USA; even rarer in adults. In fact less than 30% of cases are described in the over 20's. There are some reports in the elderly. When observed in adults the diagnosis is usually due to the onset of symptoms of associated pathologies or to complications such as cholangitis or cancer. Ultrasound, CT and ERCP allo...
