Neuroblastoma presenting with obstructive jaundice is a rare event. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Biliary Colic

  It is clear that some people who develop the symptoms and complications of gallstones -- biliary colic, cholecystitis, or pancreatitis - have only these microscopic particles in their gallbladders, particles too small to obstruct the bile ducts. [medicinenet.com]

• Epistaxis

  Transnasal insertion of a TNE endoscope was feasible in all patients, without epistaxis. TNE BD was achieved in all patients. Abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice improved 24 hours after the procedure in all patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Surgical exploration was canceled in two patients in the early-surgery group because of choledocholithiasis in one patient and pulmonary metastases of a previous breast carcinoma identified during the workup in the other. [nejm.org]

Although a large-scale, multicenter study is required to investigate the indications and complications of ESBD, it is no doubt that we have now more treatment options for non-surgical biliary drainage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Ampulla of Vater (AOV) carcinoma is a rare malignancy but has a relatively good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of biliary obstruction was malignancy in 35 (56.4%) patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are several techniques that can be used to establish the etiology of bile duct strictures. Typically brush or forceps biopsy can be performed through an existing tract ( 13 ). [cco.amegroups.com]
