Cholelithiasis during pregnancy and the postpartum period has an incidence of 12%, with pregnancy being an important risk factor for gallstones. Patients with choledocholithiasis can experience complications, such as obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and pancreatitis, which may be detrimental to both mother and fetus. A case of cholelithiasis in a second-trimester pregnancy was complicated by choledocholithiasis and obstructive jaundice. Ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), along with serial blood tests, confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment was safely achieved using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In pregnancy, complicated cholelithiasis is investigated using blood tests, ultrasonography, and cholangiography. Evidence supports the use of intraoperative or endoscopic cholangiography for the management of such complicated gallstone disease in pregnancy.
妊娠及产后胆石症的发病率为12%,妊娠是胆结石的重要危险因素。胆总管结石患者可能会出现并发症,如梗阻性黄疸、胆管炎和胰腺炎,这对母亲和胎儿都可能有害。一例孕中期胆石症患者并发胆总管结石和梗阻性黄疸。超声检查(US)、磁共振胰胆管造影(MRCP)以及系列血液检查确诊了该病例。通过内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)安全地完成了治疗。在妊娠期,采用血液检查、超声检查和胆管造影对复杂胆石症进行检查。有证据支持在妊娠期使用术中或内镜胆管造影来处理此类复杂的胆结石疾病。
