Abstract The present study was carried out to evaluate the relative merits of ultrasonography and roentgenography in 50 cases of suspected cholecystolithiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, the combination of these 2 clinical presentations in the same gestation period is anecdotal. Neither DeMuro's case 5 nor those presented in their references were similar to ours in their form of presentation. [elsevier.es]

  Abstract A 70-year old male patient was admitted to hospital with fever and right upper quadrant pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Jaundice: Fever: Chills and fever are usually asociated with pain abdomen. Other symptoms: clay color stool. Dark urine. Symptoms associated with Pancreatitis. Charcot's Triad:[edit] Clasically seen in common-bile-duct-stone. [en.wikibooks.org]

• Hyperalgesia

  There were no significant relations between the hyperalgesia and the clinical findings. CONCLUSION: Cholecystolithiasis leads to significant hyperalgesia in the somatic area, where pain was referred to during the acute attacks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ultrasonography is the initial diagnostic procedure of choice in most cases of suspected gallbladder or biliary tract disease (see Workup). The treatment of gallstones depends upon the stage of disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The discussion in this chapter will focus primarily on the workup and manage- ment of patients with syndromes caused by CBD stones. [slideshare.net]

During the 2000s, a critical appraisal of management options[26-28] and the diffusion of new diagnostic examinations led to a more cautious, patient-tailored preoperative workup, based on patient risk of carrying CBDS[3,29,30], and management, based on [wjgnet.com]

Further development is required if this technique is to be included in the alternative treatments for the management of gall stones. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
