Biliary Dyspepsia: Functional Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biliary-type abdominal pain is common and often presents a clinical challenge for physicians. True biliary colic consists of episodes of steady pain across the right upper quadrant and epigastric regions, lasting from 30 minutes to 6 hours [1]. Such abdominal pain, when it lasts longer than 6 hours, is likely due to complications of gallstone disease such as acute cholecys‐ titis or acute pancreatitis, or represents a non-biliary source of pain [1].

Functional hepatobiliary disease: chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease.
Chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease are considered functional hepatobiliary diseases. Cholescintigraphy provides physiologic imaging of biliary drainage, making it ideally suited for their noninvasive diagnosis. For chronic acalculous gallbladder disease, calculation of a gallbladder ejection fraction during sincalide cholescintigraphy can confirm the clinical ...
متن کاملFunctional Abdominal Pain Syndrome
The Clinical Problem Functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) is a state of chronic recurrent abdominal pain that is not due to structural, organic, or metabolic diseases, as far as can be detected by current routine clinical examinations [7]. Abdominal pain in FAPS is unrelated to provocation, exaggeration, or relief by everyday physiological stimuli such as eating, exercise, defecation, or m...
متن کاملDistribution and Effect of Galanin on Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi Motility in the Pig
This study was designed to determine the occurrence and topographical distribution of galanin-like immunoreactivity (GAL-LI) in the porcine gallbladder and sphincter of Oddi and to investigate the pharmacologic effect of GAL on gallbladder and sphincter of Oddi motility. By radioimmunoassay the concentration of GAL-LI in the gallbladder was 2.75 +/- 0.23, 9.73 +/- 1.33 in the common bile duct a...
متن کاملFunctional disorders of the biliary tract and pancreas.
The term "dysfunction" defines the motor disorders of the gall bladder and the sphincter of Oddi (SO) without note of the potential etiologic factors for the difficulty to differentiate purely functional alterations from subtle structural changes. Dysfunction of the gall bladder and/or SO produces similar patterns of biliopancreatic pain and SO dysfunction may occur in the presence of the gall ...
متن کاملSphincter of Oddi Dysfunction: Introduction
Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction refers to structural or functional disorders involving the biliary sphincter that may result in impedance of bile and pancreatic juice flow. Up to 20% of patients with continued pain after cholecystectomy and 10–20% of patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis may suffer from sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. This condition is more prevalent among middle-aged wo...
