Abstract
ALBERCA-PARAMO, Ana et al. Anatomy variant symptomatic of the duplication of the common bile duct type IV. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.6, pp.776-781. Epub Nov 08, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19001109.
Introduction:
Duplicity of the common bile duct is an unusual congenital disorder.
Case report:
A 80-year-old woman with duplication of the common bile duct with retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) who did not resolve the symptoms.
Discussion:
Our case is a variant of type IV to the classification of duplicity of the common bile duct. The magnetic resonance cholangiography and presurgical ERCP allows assessment of the bile ducts, their caliber, and assessment of abnormalities. The treatment before duplicity of the common bile duct will depend on the clinic and the type of opening of the accessory common bile duct.
Conclusions:
It is important to perform a pre-surgical study and during surgery with intrasurgical cholangiography.
