Biliary pneumatosis has recently been reported in intrahepatic amd extrahepatic bile ducts complicating bacterial cholangitis, as characterized by cholangioscopy. This clinical report adds another case of small-scale pneumatosis cysts in the common bile duct to the literature. Similary to previously reported cases, the recent patient likewise had a history of acute cholangitis. It might be tempting to speculate that this finding might prove more common than expected in the dawning era of routine use of cholangioscopic characterization of biliary tract diseases.

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key procedure for diagnosing and treating biliary and pancreatic disorders. Although effective, it carries risks, including rare but severe complications such as air embolism.
Case Summary: We report a case of a 58-year-old man who developed extensive air embolism during ERCP.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness and safety of two surgical methods for treating common bile duct stones: laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC+LCBDE) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ERCP+LC).
- It analyzes data from 148 patients, looking at factors like success rates, operation times, hospital stays, complication rates, and costs between the two groups.
- Results indicate that LC+LCBDE has a higher success rate, shorter operation and hospital stay times, and lower hospitalization costs compared to ERCP+LC, along with a lower incidence of postoperative abdominal pain.

Background: Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of gallstone disease in which a stone enters the enteric lumen and causes mechanical obstruction usually by bilioenteric fistula. Gallstone ileus accounts for 25% of all bowel obstructions among the population > 65 years of age. Despite medical advances over the last decades, gallstone ileus is still associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Background: About 20% of COVID-19 patients can have digestive symptoms, apart from the typical chest-related symptoms, and 10% of patients may have only gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms during their entire disease course.
Aim And Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the spectrum of abdominal computed tomographic (CT) findings in a cohort of 15 COVID-19 patients (confirmed on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)) who presented with various GI presentations without preceding respiratory symptoms.
Materials And Methods: A total of 93 patients with COVID-19 (confirmed on RT-PCR) who underwent CT imaging (between September 28, 2020 and March 20, 2021) in our center were retrospectively searched from the existing database.
