pancreaticobiliary maljunction/lipase

BACKGROUND Previous studies have focused on the presence of reflux in selected cohorts with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), but little is known regarding the wider incidence of occult reflux and associated mucosal changes. We aimed to correlate gallbladder mucosal abnormalities with objective

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of biliary atresia (BA) is still unknown. There are several reports on the etiology of BA, including pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). We experienced a case of Kasai type IIIa BA with PBM, in which we found elevation of pancreatic enzymes in the gallbladder. We

Pancreaticobiliary maljunctions (PBMs) are congenital anomalies of the junction between pancreatic and bile ducts, frequently associated with bile duct cyst (BDC). BDC is congenital biliary tree diseases that are characterized by distinctive dilatation types of the extra- and/or intrahepatic bile

A 66-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of a large common bile duct (CBD) and gallbladder (GB) tumor. She had no specific medical history. In her blood test, serum AST, ALT, ALP, γGTP, total bilirubin, and CA19-9 were elevated. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed that a

Cylindrical choledochal dilatation, associated with anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union, causes recurrent episodes of right hypochondrial pain, vomiting, and fever. The symptoms are very often accompanied by hyperamylasemia, which is generally considered to be due to acute pancreatitis.

We herein report a case of gallbladder carcinoma associated with occult pancreatobiliary reflux (PR) in the absence of pancreatobiliary maljunction. A 67-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for the evaluation and treatment of a gallbladder tumor. Ultrasonography and computed tomography

OBJECTIVE The aim of this report was to elucidate the relation between pancreatitis and obesity in children. METHODS We present a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis in an obese girl. RESULTS A 7-y-old healthy obese girl was admitted with epigastric pain and vomiting. She had prior history of three
