AI Article Synopsis
- A two-month-old infant showed signs of jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools, leading to a diagnosis of bile ascites and perforation of bile ducts.
- During emergency surgery, bile peritonitis was confirmed due to perforations at the junction of certain bile ducts.
- Unfortunately, despite treatment, the infant experienced serious postoperative complications, leading to death three days after the surgery.
Article Abstract
The report concerns a two-month-old suckling, affected on the 20th day of life with occurrence of icterus, dark urine and acholic stool, and on the 34th day--fever, vomiting and enlargement of the abdomen. Bile ascites is demonstrated by abdominal puncture, and perforation of the extrahepatic biliary ducts--by hepatobiliary scintigraphy. In the course of emergency laparotomy, diffuse bile peritonitis is established against the background of punctiform perforation at the site of d. cysticus and d. hepaticus communis union. Following sanation of the abdominal cavity, a draining catheter is inserted into the perforation area. The serious postoperative course, characterized by progressive hepatic failure, results in a fatal outcome on the third postoperative day. The etiopathogenesis, clinical symptomatology, timely diagnosis and effective operative management of this exceptionally rare surgical disease in children are discussed against the background of pertinent literature data survey.

Department of Radiology, ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, Piazza OMS, 1, Bergamo, 24127, Italy.
Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the portal vein is one of the main causes of portal hypertension, which may result in life-threatening complications often managed by interventional radiology (IR). The aim of this study is to report the innovative experience with percutaneous revascularization therapy in the management of portal vein CTO in paediatric and adult patients.
Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023 consecutive paediatric and adult patients with severe portal hypertension resulting from portal vein CTO who underwent attempts at percutaneous recanalization were retrospectively reviewed.

Gastric Ulcer With Yttrium-90 Microsphere Selective Internal Radiation Therapy.
Cureus
April 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, USA.
Radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y90) is a recent oncological interventional radiology technique used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic colon cancer to the liver. Although Y90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90-SIRT) is considered a safe and effective treatment, with increasing use, hepatic and extrahepatic complications have been reported. Here, we present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by gastric ulceration associated with radioembolization from Y90-SIRT, as confirmed by histological findings.

- A 5-year-old neutered Somali cat had jaundice due to extrahepatic biliary obstruction caused by a mass in the common bile duct, which was diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinoma.
- During surgery, a perforation in the duodenum was also found, leading to the combined surgical procedures of choledochoduodenostomy and Billroth II.
- Although the cat recovered and survived for nearly 100 days without recurrence of the initial issues, it continued to experience intermittent vomiting and weight loss, indicating poor quality of life despite treatment.
Unlocking the enigma: Combined percutaneous-transhepatic and endoscopic strategies for retrieval of severed Dormia basket in choledocholithiasis. A case report and literature review.

Choledocholithiasis, characterized by the presence of stones in the common bile duct, poses significant challenges in clinical management, particularly when the stones are massive. While endoscopic methods are often effective in stone removal, complications such as the impaction of foreign bodies like Dormia baskets can occur. These complications may necessitate alternative approaches, including surgical intervention, highlighting the importance of exploring innovative interventional techniques.
