Abstract

Although it is commonly appreciated that there is an inordinately large number of anormalies associated with the excretory ducts of the liver, comparatively little attention has been paid to the position of the orfice of the common bile duct into the duodenum. But, obiviously the site of entrance of the common bile duct into the duodenum becomes of great importance to the endoscopist, radiologist, and surgeon in diseases of the extra-hepatic biliary tract diag-nostically and therapeutically. We report 'a case of anomalous termination of the common bile duct into the duodenal bulb with the gall bladder empyema.
