It shows a meniscoid filling defect in the distal common duct occluding flow. This represents a retained common duct stone.

No sedation usually required

No iodinated intravenous contrast (avoids iodine anaphylaxis and contrast nephropathy)

Rapid scan time

No ionising radiation (safe in pregnancy and children)

Delineates ductal anatomy proximal to obstructions

1.1. Choledocholithiasis Choledocholithiasis (biliary duct stones)

One or more

intraluminal defects (round, faceted or lobulated) which produce varying degrees of biliary obstruction are seen. Occasionally stones are noted as small multiple free-floating defects in a non-dilated duct.

2.2. Pancreatic carcinoma Pancreatic carcinoma Complete or almost complete obstruction of the mid or distal common duct, usually over a long segment (3-4 cm) of the distal duct (intrapancreatic portion) is seen.

A "rat-tail" configuration is the typical appearance (red arrows);

however, a rounded end or short segment stenosis with more abrupt margins may be seen.

3.3. Cholangiocarcinoma Cholangiocarcinoma The narrowing may occur at any level and typically presents as a short segmental stenosis. When the lesion is located at the bifurcation, it is referred to as a Klatskin tumor

Cholangiocarcinoma may be polypoid or diffusely infiltrating.

4. Benign strictureBenign stricture

There is a short segmental circumferential stricture in the mid-common duct in a patient with a previous cholecystectomy.

Most benign strictures are secondary to ductal injury during cholecystectomy. (iatrogenic)

5.5. Ampullary carcinoma Ampullary carcinoma

Focal obstruction of very distal CBD is noted.

A smooth constriction or an irregular polypoid mass growing into distal CBD may be seen.

6. Chronic pancreatitis Chronic pancreatitis causing stricturecausing stricture:

A long segment stricture of the intrapancreatic common duct is seen.

The stricture is more tapered than that seen in pancreatic carcinoma and does not usually completely obstruct. Calcifications in the pancreatic head help confirm the diagnosis.

8. Metastatic nodes to the porta Metastatic nodes to the porta hepatishepatis - Infiltration or encasement of the CHD, usually just below the bifurcation, is seen.

The obstruction tends to be short segmental, smooth, concentric and occurs in a patient with a clinical history of primary neoplasm elsewhere.

7. Sclerosing cholangitisSclerosing cholangitis There is a diffuse periductal

infiltrating lesion involving the intra- and extrahepatic ducts with beading, irregularity and segmental narrowing.

A 24-year-old male presented with 3 weeks history of fever, malaise, nausea, vomiting and right upper quadrant pain.

Bowels were regular with normal stools.

General examination: he was febrile (38oC)but vital signs were stable.

He was not anemic or jaundiced. Chest & heart examination was normal

Abdominal examination: right upper quadrant tenderness without rigidity or guarding.

No organomegaly, masses, or ascites and bowel sounds were normal

Investigations: CBC: raised WBC (13.200) and ESR (96 mm/hr). Liver functions showed elevated alkaline phosphatase (152 IU/L) and a low albumin (3.0 g/dL).

Amebic serology (Indirect Haemagglutination test) was positive

Abdominal US showed homogenous hypoechoic lesion with well-defined borders

Abdominal CT scan showed a well- demarcated abscess in the right lobe of liver

Diagnosis: Amebic liver abscess INDEX

CTCT: Hypodense lesion within the posterior segment of the right lobe of the liver.

There is a peripheral region of increased density surrounding the hypodense lesionIf no wall is seen, the differential diagnosis would include: amebic liver abscess, pyogenic abscess, echinoccocal cyst, hematoma, or necrotic tumor.

If an enhancing wall is present (as in this case) the differential should be limited to inflammatory conditions Liver abscess that proved to be amebicLiver abscess that proved to be amebic

Diagnosis is confirmed by guided aspiration. The aspirated material is sent to culture & sensitivity

Treatment is antibiotics & US guided aspiration

Blind percutanous aspiration may go through the pleural space & cause empyema
