4 Cases of Web of Common Bile Duct
Abstract
-
The septum formation(web) of bile duct is an uncommon disease. Its rarity and vague symptoms result in delayed diagnosis. However, the increased use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography(PTC) have resulted in greater awareness of this entity and understanding of its natural history as well as an increased frequency of diagnosis. We have experienced 4 cases of common bile duct web, which were associated with stones in the bile duct, confirmed by operation.
