Choledococele as a cause of recurrent abdominal pain and biliary sepsis.

We report the case of a 91-year-old female with acute cholangitis and long-standing symptoms of recurrent colic- related abdominal pain after cholecystectomy. She was diagnosed by abdominal CT of saccular dilation of the intramural bile duct in the duodenum suggesting choledococele. ERCP was performed in which the presumptive diagnosis was confirmed, and choledochotomy and choledochoplasty were done with excellent subsequent progress.
