Abstract:
Bile duct web is very rare disease and it's etiology is controversial. Some webs are occurred in the presence of chronic inflammation, frequently associated with bile duct stone, but others are thought to be congenital. Many patients with bile duct web are asymptomatic, but they sometimes present symptom of biliary obstruction and cholangitis. It can be diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram, typically appearing as thin and shelf like radiolucent ring. We report a case of the common bile duct web with bile duct stones diagnosed by Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in a 65-year-old man. The patient was treated by balloon dilatation successfully.
