Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis is a gram-negative, curved, motile, anaerobic bacillus. D. fairfieldensis has been isolated only from human specimens and is considered a normal resident of the human gastrointestinal tract. We report the second case of Desulfovibrio bacteremia associated with choledocholithiasis and review the other reported cases of D. fairfieldensis bacteremia.

A female patient was admitted to our hospital with sigmoid colon perforation caused by migrated biliary plastic stent, which was placed 2 months ago for the treatment of choledocholithiasis. The patient underwent sigmoid colon resection with primary anastomosis and was discharged on seventh postoperative day in good general condition.

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is an alternative to diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for investigating biliary obstruction. The use of MRCP, a non-invasive procedure, may prevent the use of unnecessary invasive procedures. The aim of the study was to compare the findings of MRCP with those of ERCP by the computation of accuracy stat...

Background: Various imaging modalities including EUS (Endoscopic ultrasound), CT abdomen (Computed tomography), MRCP (Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography), and ERCP retrograde cholangiopancreatography) are used for diagnosis of choledocholithiasis. allows direct visualization bile duct through endoscope, it also helps in retrieval stones. On the other hand, is a noninvasive procedure wh...

A duplicate gall bladder was diagnosed at laparoscopy, having been erroneously diagnosed on ultrasonography as a dilated common bile duct with choledocholithiasis. Gallbladder duplication is a congenital abnormality with a rare incidence, occuring in approximately 1 in 4 000 births and 0.020% in al large autopsy series. This report highlights its existence to improve awareness and lessen the po...
