Haemobilia is a rare cause of unrecognized gastrointestinal bleeding and is hard to diagnose. Through the present case report we aim to corroborate magnetic resonance relevance in the evaluation of biliary system and bile features, investigating on its role in patients with acute biliary diseases. We report a case of a Caucasian 48-year-old man who was admitted due to abdominal pain and fever. ...

Few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with large numbers of patients have been conducted to date in patients with biliary tract cancer, and standard chemotherapy has not been established yet. In this article we review previous studies and clinical trials regarding chemotherapy for unresectable biliary tract cancer, and we present guidelines for the appropriate use of chemotherapy in patients ...

An 83-year-old male was referred to us for deranged liver function in December 2010. There was mildly elevated bilirubin level of 36 μmol/L, alkaline phosphatase level of 281 μmol/L, and transaminase level of 98 μmol/L. Tumour markers (carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9) were normal. Ultrasonography revealed a markedly dilated common bile duct (CBD) and i...

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a relatively common occurrence resulting from acute or chronic pancreatitis. However, a rare subset of these patients present with a pseudocyst fistulizing into the portal vein. We present the case of a 58 year-old woman with a rapidly expanding pancreatic pseudocyst with portal venous fistulization causing portal vein thrombosis, in addition to biliary and duodenal obs...

We report a case of complicated liver hydatid cyst with biliary system communication, cholangitis, and having at the same time simultaneous free intraperitoneal rupture. This very rare case was treated successfully by a minimally invasive method, namely ERCP, large sphincterotomy and bile duct decompression by cysts and membranes, percutaneous radiologic subdiaphragmatic drainage and prolonged ...

Summary. Aim of the study: Based on new knowledge about course acute and chronic cholangitis in patients with obstructive lesions bile ducts to improve results diagnosis treatment, using improved algorithms minimally invasive technologies.
