We encountered a case of non-dilated pancreaticobiliary maljunction detected by helical DIC-CT.
The patient was a 55-year-old man whose chief complaint was epigastralgia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of cholecystolithiasis accompanied by adenomyomatosis, pancreaticobiliary maljunction was suspected by helical DIC-CT and confirmed ERCP. Therefore, extrahepatic bile duct resection and biliary reconstruction were performed.
Non-invasive helical DIC-CT may be useful for screening a nd diagnosing non-dilated pancreaticobiliary maljunction.
