We report a 15-year boy who presented with obstructive cholangiopathy and pancreatitis after blunt abdominal trauma. A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed dilated common bile duct, dilated hepatic ducts, and a suspicious choledochoduodenal fistula. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a parapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula. An operation of choledochojejunostomy, excision of common bile duct, and cholecystectomy was done for recurrent cholangitis. Abdominal symptoms completely subsided one month later. Serum amylase, lipase and bilirubin levels turned to normal 3 months after operation.

The gram-negative bacterium (VC) is divided into multiple serogroups, with groups O1 and O139 responsible for cholera. Conversely, belonging to the non-O1/non-O139 group (NOVC) does not produce cholera-causing toxins. Insufficient understanding of the frequency of NOVC causes fear during the early detection phase.

Article Synopsis
  • IPMN-B (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct) is a rare bile duct disease characterized by mucus production and can lead to complications like fistula formation.
  • A patient presented with abdominal pain and jaundice, with imaging revealing significant dilation of the bile ducts and mucus buildup due to a diagnosed IPMN-B with a choledochoduodenal fistula.
  • Despite treatment that included biliary drainage and medication, the patient's condition ultimately worsened, resulting in death 10 months later, highlighting the usefulness of SpyGlass for diagnosis and the challenges of managing high-risk cases.

Bouveret's syndrome (BS) represents an exceedingly rare clinical entity characterized by gastric outlet obstruction induced by a gallstone passing through a cholecystoduodenal, cholecystogastric or choledochoduodenal fistula and impacting in the duodenum or pylorus. Endoscopy is the preferred first-line therapy. It has a favorable safety profile, but requires high level of expertise to achieve stone clearance.
