Abstract:
There are many causes of extrahepatic biliary obstruction. The most common causes are gallstones and malignant or benign strictures. Web of the common bile duct is a rare disease, and it may produce obstructive jaundice. On cholangiography, a common bile duct web typically appears as a shelf--like radiolucent ring. It is frequently associated with bile duct stone, and it is occasionally related to bile duct trauma or primary sclerosing cholangitis. We report here on a case of a web of the common bile duct without choledocholithiasis in a 27-year-old man. The patient was treated by Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy above the level of the web.
