A six-year-old, female, neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented with chronic weight loss and a two-day history of partial anorexia and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a regional thickening of the duodenal wall with loss of normal layering, a normally walled segmentally dilated distal aspect of the common bile duct containing slightly hyperechoic bile, and a mild to moderately enlarged major duodenal papilla. Based on the ultrasound examination, the primary differential diagnosis was a peripapillary duodenal neoplastic or less likely, an inflammatory or infectious process with secondary extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Postmortem examination revealed a duodenal, peripapillary adenocarcinoma with metastasis into the liver and lymph nodes, and external compressive obstruction of cystic- and common bile duct.

This is a prospective study done to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in patients undergoing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for pancreaticobiliary disorders.Majority of the study participants were males (63.3%), while the rest 36.78% of them were females and periampullary carcinoma (11.7%) and common bile duct calculus (11.7%) are the common cause of obstruction found on MRCP followed by malignant stricture (10%). The extent of obstruction was determined in most of the study participants (91.7%) by MRCP while the rest 8.3% were not determined by MRCP. The Common bile duct calculus (11.7%) is the common cause of obstruction on ERCP followed by malignant stricture (10%) and Periampullary carcinoma (10%) and 20% of the patients were found to be normal in ERCP. Among them, 71.4 % did not show MRCP and the association was found to be significant. (p- Value < 0.00).

The Mean

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the common bile duct (CBD) and pancreatic duct (PD) diameter among healthy adult Sudanese subjects using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). In addition, this study aimed to determine the effects of age, gender, and body height and weight on the CBD and PD diameters to establish a reference range for these ducts on MRCP, which is very useful in a daily clinical setting where MRCP is commonly performed to evaluate suspected biliary tract disease. Methods and Results: This study included 80 asymptomatic subjects who underwent MRCP. The widest diameter of the CBD and PD was measured perpendicular to their long axes using the electronic caliper. The applied MRCP imaging technique was in line with the guidelines used by Chen et al.(2012) The age, gender, medical history, body height and body weight were recorded. Among the 80 subjects, the mean CBD diameter on MRCP was 6.17±0.69 mm (range of 4-8 mm). There was a significant correlation between the CBD diameter and weight (r=0.407, P<0.001). The mean PD diameter on MRCP was 3.80±0.50mm (range of 2-5 mm). There was also a significant correlation between the PD diameter and weight (r=0.407, P<0.001). In the cohort of 80 subjects, the mean CBD diameter in females was larger than in males(6.50±0.632mm and 5.95±0.677mm, respectively), and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Also, the mean PD diameter in females was statistically larger than in males (6.03±0.66mm and 5.58±0.675mm, respectively), and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Our results demonstrate no significant correlation between the diameter of CBD and PD and participants' height and age. Conclusion: The importance of the current study lies in it’s being one of the few studies whose intention was to use MRCP to bridge the knowledge gap in the literature about the measurement of the CBD and PD diameter among healthy adult Sudanese subjects.

Abstract Background Current management of choledocholithiasis entails the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and clearance of the common bile duct. A rare complication of this procedure is the impaction of the basket by a large stone, which necessitates lithotripsy. Here we report a case of an impacted basket during ERCP, which was managed by open surgery with a duodenotomy and the manual removal of the basket. Case presentation A 79-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to our department with yellowish discoloration of urine, skin and eyes. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a slightly thickened gallbladder, multiple gallbladder stones, dilated intrahepatic bile ducts and extrahepatic bile extending to 1.1 cm. A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a stone in the common bile duct, which caused dilation of the biliary ducts. The patient was diagnosed with obstructive jaundice secondary to choledocholithiasis; and underwent an ERCP, a sphincterotomy and stone extraction. Four days following discharge, the patient was readmitted with jaundice, abdominal pain, vomiting and fever. He was diagnosed with ascending cholangitis and treated initially with antibiotics. A second ERCP revealed a dilated common bile duct and choledocholithiasis. Stone removal with a basket failed, as did mechanical lithotripsy. Finally, the wires of the basket were ruptured and stacked in the common bile duct together with the stone. During exploratory laparotomy, adhesiolysis, a Kocher maneuver of the duodenum and a subtotal cholecystectomy were performed. Choledochotomy did not succeed in removing the impacted wires together with the stone. Therefore, a duodenotomy and an extension of the sphincterotomy were performed, followed by high-pressure lavage of the common bile duct to remove additional small biliary stones. The choledochotomy and duodenotomy were closed by a one-layer suture, and a prophylactic gastroenterostomy was performed to prevent leakage from the common bile duct and the duodenum. The postoperative course was satisfactory. Conclusions This is the first report in the literature of removal of an impacted Dormia basket through the papilla by performing a duodenotomy and an extension of the sphincterotomy, followed by gastroenterostomy.

Intestinal Ganglioneuromatosis

A 3-year-old intact female labrador retriever dog was presented for anorexia, weight loss and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a mass of the descending duodenum involving the major duodenal papilla with loss of the normal intestinal wall layering. The distal part of the common bile duct was circumferentially thickened obliterating its lumen and causing extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Exploratory laparotomy was undertaken, total descending duodenum excision with gastrojejunostomy, cholecystojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy procedures were performed. The dog died 3 days postoperatively. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry examinations of the specimens from the duodenectomy demonstrated multinodular to diffuse intestinal ganglioneuromatosis. This is the first reported case of an intestinal ganglioneuromatosis, a rare hyperplastic proliferation of ganglion cells and nerves of the enteric autonomic nervous system, involving the duodenum and causing extrahepatic biliary obstruction.

Tract Disease

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is an effective procedure when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is not available. From January 2004 until December 2009, 1254 patients presented with biliary tract disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was attempted in 1240 (98%) cases and completed in 1232 (98%) cases. Laparoscopic cholangiograms were performed in 627 (50%) cases. LCBDE was carried out in 33 (2.6%) cases. Of the 33 LCBDEs, 29 (2.3%) were via the cystic duct, four (0.32%) through a choledochotomy; eight (0.64%) of the total laparoscopic cholecystectomies were converted to open cholecystectomies. LCBDE can be done safely in small hospitals and is very useful when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is not available.

A New Technique

PURPOSE: Interposition of a jejunal tube between the common bile duct and duodenum. METHODS: Five adult mongrel dogs of both sexes, weighing on average 22.3 kg (18 to 26.5 kg), were used. Obstructive jaundice was induced by ligation of the distal common bile duct. After one week, a 2.5-cm long jejunal tube was fabricated from a segment of the loop removed 15 cm from the Treitz angle and interposed between the common bile duct and duodenum. RESULTS: The animals presented good clinical evolution and no complications were observed. After 6 weeks, complete integration was noted between the bile duct mucosa, tube and duodenum and a significant reduction in total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase was observed when compared to the values obtained one week after ligation of the common bile duct. CONCLUSION: The jejunal tube interposed between the dilated bile duct and duodenum showed good anatomic integration and reduced total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels in the animals studied.

A three-year-old, male neutered domestic longhair cat was referred for evaluation of icterus, vomiting, and anorexia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a proximal duodenal mass obstructing the common bile duct. The mass was surgically resected, and a cholecystoduodenostomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was osteosarcoma. Thoracic radiographs showed no evidence of metastasis, and bone scintigraphy revealed no signs of a primary skeletal osteosarcoma. Four months after surgery, the cat had intermittent vomiting, marked weight loss, and died.
