Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for secondary common bile duct stones compared with laparoscopic trans-cystic common bile duct exploration
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in preoperative patients with secondary common bile duct stones during the application of laparoscopic trans-cystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE). MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical records of 255 patients were retrospectively analyzed. All patients included i...
متن کاملAdvances in Endoscopy
When it was first introduced in 1991, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was able to illustrate the dilated common bile duct in a way that was similar to what clinicians were accustomed to with ERCP. In the original publication on MRCP, it took approximately 6 minutes to obtain this image using MRCP. Over the next several years, the time required to obtain an image was shortened...
متن کاملCommon Bile Duct Obstruction Secondary to a Periampullary Diverticulum
Periampullary duodenal diverticula are not uncommon and are usually asymptomatic although complications may occasionally occur. Here, we report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with painless obstructive jaundice. Laboratory tests showed abnormally elevated serum concentrations of total and direct bilirubin, of alkaline phosphatase, of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and of aspartate and...
متن کاملRole of endoscopic ultrasound in evaluation of unexplained common bile duct dilatation on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography
BACKGROUND Dilated common bile duct (CBD) without obvious cause is a not uncommon finding on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with unexplained dilated CBD on MRCP. METHODS Patients referred for EUS evaluation of a dilated CBD were retrospectively analyzed with respect...
متن کاملBile duct carcinoma associated with congenital biliary dilatation in a 16-year-old female: a case report and literature review
We encountered a very rare case of bile duct carcinoma associated with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in a 16-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital because of right upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a cystic dilatation of the common bile duct measuring 7 cm in diameter and two enhanced tumors 4 cm in diameter located in the inferior bi...
