Abstract

Most reports describe acute gallstone pancreatitis as a result of common bile duct and pancreatic duct obstruction at the Ampulla of Vater. The pathophysiology leading to the development of pancreatitis includes the common channel theory of obstruction leading to bile reflux, ductal hypertension secondary to pancreatic duct obstruction, and sphincter incompetence with duodenal content reflux.Rarely stones which from common bile duct have been demonstrated by ERCP to lie within the pancreatic duct. We experienced the patient who complained epigastric and RUQ pain. She was 51-year-old and had both intrahepatic duct, common bile duct stones and pancreatic duct stone. Initial amylase and lipase was 112 IU/L, 1925 U/L. We performed Lt. lateral segmentectomy, Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy, distal pancreatectomy. So We report this case.
