We report two cases of common bile duct stone formed around a fish bone which migrated from the intestinal tract, along with their characteristic imaging findings. Two patients who had no history of previous operation were admitted because of cholangitis. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was performed and the cholangiogram showed filling defects with an unusually elongated shape in the common bile duct. After improvement of the cholangitic symptoms, the stones were removed through the PTBD tract under fluoroscopic guidance. A nidus consisting of a 1.5 cm sized fish bone was found in each stone removed.

To systematically evaluate the risks of cardiocerebral vascular events in patients with primary biliary cholangitis(PBC). Methods We carried out a Meta analysis by RevMan 5.3 software to investigate literatureon the risk of cardiocerebral vascular events in patients with PBC and controls. Results Compared with non-PBC controls,PBC patients had significantly higher risk of coronary events(=1.56,=0.0002);however,the risk of cerebrovascular events showed no significant difference between these two groups(=1.01,=0.94).Subgroup analysis demonstrated a significantly lower risk of transient ischemic attack or carotid stenosis in PBC patients(=0.63,=0.03);however,there was no significant difference in the risk of stroke(=1.11,=0.40). Conclusion Patients with PBC have an increased risk of coronary events but may have a lower risk of transient ischemic attack or carotid stenosis.

Spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct (CBD) is a rare event in adults. Most cases of CBD perforation are iatrogenic after invasive procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or cholecystectomy. We report a case of an 81-year-old woman who presented with severe right upper abdominal pain, fever, and chills. Abdominal CT showed multiple gallbladder and CBD stones and loculated fluid collection in the inferoposterior portion of the stomach. ERCP showed the leakage of contrast media into the peritoneal cavity from the CBD. We performed endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) to decompress the CBD instead of emergent surgical intervention. One week later, cholangiography via ENBD tube revealed that there was no more leakage of the contrast media from the CBD. We performed cholecystectomy, removal of the CBD stones after exploration of the CBD, and T tube insertion. The perforated site of the CBD was closed and there was no more fluid collection in the inferoposterior portion of the stomach. Medical treatment including endoscopic procedures was useful for healing of the perforated CBD.
