Biliary pneumatosis has recently been reported in intrahepatic amd extrahepatic bile ducts complicating bacterial cholangitis, as characterized by cholangioscopy. This clinical report adds another case of small-scale pneumatosis cysts in the common bile duct to the literature. Similary to previously reported cases, the recent patient likewise had a history of acute cholangitis. It might be tempting to speculate that this finding might prove more common than expected in the dawning era of routine use of cholangioscopic characterization of biliary tract diseases.
最近有报道称,肝内和肝外胆管出现胆系积气,并发细菌性胆管炎,经胆管镜检查确诊。本临床报告为文献增添了另一例胆总管小规模积气囊肿病例。与先前报道的病例相似,该患者近期也有急性胆管炎病史。在胆道疾病常规使用胆管镜检查进行特征描述的新时代,可能有人会推测这一发现或许比预期更为常见。
