Traumatic injuries of the extrahepatic biliary tract are infrequent, occurring in approximately 0.5% of all patients with blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma. The incidence of this injury due to blunt abdominal trauma is rare. This study reviewed patients with injuries of the extrahepatic biliary tract due to abdominal trauma over a 6-year period to determine the incidence, trauma scores, as...

Biliary papillomatosis (BP) is considered a rare condition of the biliary tract with a risk of malignant transformation and a high recurrence rate after operation due to the diffuse distribution of the disease. Clinical manifestations of BP are nonspecific, often misdiagnosed for clinical rarity. Recently, we experienced a case of BP of intra hepatic biliary tract in which Choledochoscopy playe...

Abstract Age is a key factor in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) pathology children. Imaging crucial range pediatric GI disorders. In term neonates, congenital anomalies tract causing obstruction are at forefront: atresia, intestinal malrotation with or without midgut volvulus, Hirschsprung’s disease, meconium plug syndrome, and ileus. premature neonate, necrotizing enterocol...

Calculous disease of the biliary tract is the general term applied to diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tree that are a direct result of gallstones. Gallstone disease is the most common disorder affecting the biliary system. The true prevalence rate is difficult to determine because calculous disease may often be asymptomatic. There is great variability regarding the worldwide prevalence ...

Background: There are several diseases which arise in gall bladder and one of them is stones (cholelithiasis). The prevalence rate difficult to work out because calculous disease often asymptomatic. Cholelithiasis has become among the foremost common biliary tract. approximately 80 percent gallstones contain cholesterol therefore remaining 20 pigment stones, consist mainly calcium bilirubinate....

They predominate between the fifth and sixth decade of life, due to higher incidence neoplasms complex biliary diseases, with in countries temperate climate. Most are secondary or gastrointestinal tract infection. It is often preceded by symptoms that vary from days two three weeks, fever 90% patients, followed hepatomegaly, attack general condition, weight loss, anorexia vomiting finally hepat...

PURPOSE The genetic alterations in biliary tract cancer and clinicopathological associations have not been studied in large population-based studies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We evaluated genetic alterations such as K-ras mutation, p53 overexpression, microsatellite instability (MSI), and alterations of the polyadenine tract present in the transforming growth factor beta receptor type II (TGFbetaR...

Pneumobilia is a rare pathological finding, which denotes an abnormal connection between the gastrointestinal and the biliary tract. In the absence of surgically created anastomosis between the bowel and the bile duct, the most common causes for pneumobilia are gallstone obstruction, endoscopic interventions, or emphysematous cholecystitis. We present this case of a middle-aged multiple-injured...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is a complex diagnostic and therapeutic approach that is used to identify and treat various hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases [1]. About one third of the patients with pancreatico-biliary malignancy are amenable to surgical resection after detailed evaluation with trans-abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomographic scan, magnetic reso...

The radiological report of gall bladder contraction 60 minutes after fatty meal, was compared with the computed volume and contraction of gall bladder using Siffert's technique. Of 46 oral cholecystograms, 34 were reported to be normal and 12 as poor contraction. On computation only 14 were found to be normal and 32 showed poor contraction. The difference was statistically significant.
