A CASE OF DOUBLE COMMON BILE DUCT THAT BOTH HAD STONES CAUSING RECURRENT CHOLANGITIS

Abstract

A 84-year-old woman had been hospitalized with acute cholangitis and undergone endoscopic sphincterotomy about 1 year previously. She presented to the hospital with fever and vomiting and was initially diagnosed with recurrence of CBD stones causing abnormalities in liver function test. ERCP revealed double common bile ducts that opened into the papilla of Vater separately and both had stones and we did endoscopic treatments. A double common bile duct is a rare congenital anomaly and we describe a case of recurrence of stones in each of double common bile ducts.
