Newest firstCholedochal cyst(CDC) originating from the cystic duct (Type VI A) is uncommon. Dilatation of both the common bile duct (CBD) and cystic duct (Type VI B) is exceptionally rare in children, with only a handful of adult cases documented in medical literature to date. We report a case of a 1-year-old child who was diagnosed with a Type VI B CDC involving dilation of both the cystic and CBDs, confirmed by imaging and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: Common bile duct (CBD) treatments are often associated with complications, limiting long-term efficacy. To overcome these issues, polymeric grafts have been suggested as promising alternatives, since they are highly customizable, biocompatible, and may reduce side effects frequency. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, interrogating MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. Next, an in vivo study involved 2…
Objectives To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of bile duct adenoma. Methods The data of 28 patients [with 32 pathologically confirmed bile duct adenomas, including 15 with malignant change (malignant group) and 17 without malignant change (benign adenoma group)] were retrospectively reviewed. Abdominal MRI was performed for all patients; in addition, dynamic enhanced MRI was performed for 18…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Biliary dilation is frequently related to obstruction; however, non-obstructive factors such as age and previous cholecystectomy have also been reported. In the past two decades there has been a dramatic increase in opiate use/dependence and utilization of cross-sectional abdominal imaging, with increased detection of biliary dilation, particularly in patients who use opiates. Aim To evaluate associatio…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Rouviere's sulcus is a 2-5 cm fissure on the liver between the right lobe and caudate process. The benefit of finding the Rouviere's sulcus during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is supported by the fact that the cystic duct and artery lay anterosuperior to the sulcus, and the common bile duct (CBD) lays below the level of the Rouviere's sulcus. Hence, it can serve as an extrabiliary anatomical reference p…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) is often distinguished by what it is not: the precancerous lesions are not mass-forming, are not the cause of bile duct obstruction, and are small enough (less than 5 mm long) to evade detection by the naked eye. Here, we describe an atypical case of BilIN resembling cholangiocarcinoma (CC) that was large enough to be identified by diagnostic imaging and present…
