A 74-year-old woman presented with 4 weeks of intermittent left upper abdominal pain and normal laboratory results. Computed tomography showed a linear hypodensity traversing the ampulla and pancreatic duct. Endoscopic ultrasound confirmed a hyperechoic linear object in the CBD. Endoscopic retrogra…
Open article record in new tab ↗Impaction of Dormia basket while extracting common bile duct (CBD) stones during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a well-known but relatively rare complication. Its management could be very challenging and may require percutaneous, endoscopic, or major surgical intervention. In this study, we present a case of a 65-year-old man with a history of obstructive jaundice secondary to a large CBD stone.…
Open article record in new tab ↗A 29-year-old man with chronic portal venous thrombosis resulting in portal biliopathy required stenting of his common bile duct (CBD) and underwent a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure to decrease portal pressures. He later presented with abdominal pain in the setting of prolonged CBD stent placement and was found to have air within his TIPS stent with a fistula on endoscopic retrograd…
Open article record in new tab ↗Biliary neuroendocrine carcinoma (BNEC) develops in the biliary tract and is characterized by the presence of neuroendocrine cells and account for less than 1% of all malignancies. We present a patient with no significant risk factors of BNEC who presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. An endoscopic ultrasound with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was concerning for neoplasm and less likely Miriz…
