Etiological Causes of Intrahepatic and Extrahepatic Bile Duct Dilatation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study aims to review the causes of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Based on review of medical literature, a scientific classification of the causes is proposed. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation can be divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. The former includes the five classical Todani’s congenital types. The latter can be sub-classified according to the underlying pathogenesis, the relationship with bile duct lumen/wall/extralumen, or intrabiliary pressure.

MR Imaging Findings of Clonorchiasis
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the MR spectrum and MR cholangiographic imaging findings of clonorchiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 26 patients with confirmed clonorchiasis by either stool tests (n=24) or surgery (n=2). MR imaging was performed on a 1.5 T system (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) with a torso coil. Axial T1- and T2-weighted, gadolinium-enhanced d...
متن کاملHepatic Parasitic Abscess Caused by Clonorchiasis: Unusual CT Findings of Clonorchiasis
Clonorchiasis is caused by a chronic infestation of liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis, and these reside mainly in the medium- and small-sized intrahepatic bile ducts. Therefore, diffuse, uniform, minimal or mild dilatation of these bile ducts, particularly in the periphery, without dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct is the typical finding on several imaging modalities. We report here on t...
متن کاملManagement of Hepatic Cholestasis
Hepatic cholestasis is characterized by elevated alkaline phosphatase and gama - glutamyl transpeptidase levels which is then followed by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. It is classified into intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholestasis. Intrahepatic cholestasis indicates hepatocellular dysfunction or the presence of an obstructive lesion in intrahepatic bile ducts distal to biliary canalicular sy...
متن کاملUnilocular Extrahepatic Biliary Cystadenoma Mimicking Choledochal Cyst: A Case Report
We report here on a case of extrahepatic biliary cystadenoma arising from the common hepatic duct. A 42-year-old woman was evaluated by us to find the cause of her jaundice. Ultrasonography and CT showed a cystic dilatation of the common hepatic duct and also marked dilatation of the intrahepatic duct. Direct cholangiography demonstrated a large filling defect between the left hepatic duct and ...
متن کاملOutcomes of choledochal cysts with or without intrahepatic involvement in children after extrahepatic cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.
BACKGROUND Type I and type IV-A choledochal cysts (CC) in Todani's classification are the most frequent types of CC. Unlike type I cyst, in which the dilatation is confined to the extrahepatic bile duct, type IV-A affects both extra and intrahepatic ducts. AIM To review our experience of complete cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for the treatment of type I and type IV-A CC in ...
