• Jaundice

  We present a case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with sudden onset jaundice and abdominal pain, 1 week following right hemicolectomy. Laboratory reports suggested obstructive jaundice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction or papillary stenosis Patients usually present with biliary colic after cholecystectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Recurrent Jaundice

  The patient initially enjoyed good symptomatic relief post stenting but presented two months later with recurrent jaundice. Investigation confirmed duct dilatation and stent blockage. [ispub.com]

• Scleral Icterus

  Mild jaundice and mild scleral icterus were present. Laboratory work-up revealed a total bilirubin to 2.1 mg/dL, with direct bilirubin of 1.2 mg/dL and normal liver transaminases. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

Further workup at that time was precluded due to complications from a fall. He was referred to our facility for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). [cytojournal.com]

A biliary drain can also be used to take bile samples for diagnostic workup or disease monitoring, as well as providing a route of administration for medical substances. [en.wikipedia.org]

The cyst was followed up by sonography which was not decreasing in size so planned for further workup and surgery. Her menstrual cycles were regular with the normal flow with no dysmenorrhea. [jmidlifehealth.org]

Initial laboratory workup showed a normal CBC as well as basic blood chemistry, liver function tests, serum electrolytes, and urinalysis. Thyroid function tests revealed a TSH of 0.01 mIU/mL and a free T4 of 2.6 ng/dL. [hindawi.com]

• Mycobacterium Avium Complex

  Other potential causative agents include Mycobacterium avium complex, Microsporidia species, and herpes simplex virus (64). However, no pathogen is identified in up to 50% of patients (64). [pubs.rsna.org]

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endoscopic treatment for postoperative benign bile duct stricture (BBS) is a therapeutic challenge. No previous studies have compared endoscopic treatments for BBS and malignant bile duct stricture (MBS). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

AIM: To compare the outcome of endoscopic therapy for postoperative benign bile duct stricture and benign bile duct stricture due to chronic pancreatitis, including long-term prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Associated findings Associated findings are for example: features of chronic pancreatitis evidence of previous cholecystectomy lymph node enlargement infiltrating mass Treatment and prognosis Treatment and prognosis clearly depend on the underlying etiology [radiopaedia.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) Treatment is successful most of the time. Long-term success depends on the cause of the stricture. Possible Complications Inflammation and narrowing of the biliary duct may return in some people. [baptistjax.com]

The main etiology of bile duct strictures closely related to the liver is a malignancy (cancer). However, the differentiation of benign and malignant strictures is notoriously difficult. [sciencedaily.com]
