[Antropyloric lithiasic obstruction. A variant of Bouveret's syndrome].

We report about one case of cholecystoduodenal fistula complicated by antropyloric lithiasic obstruction, which was treated surgically with gastrotomy and extraction of the calculus, in an 82-year-old woman. This case represents an anatomic variant of Bouveret's syndrome, which is classically defined as a duodenal lithiasic obstruction. On the basis of this case, the authors discuss the diagnostic and possibly therapeutic merits of digestive endoscopy and define the main clinical, anatomical and evolutive characteristics of this unfrequent complication of biliary lithiasis.

[Simultaneous study of duodenal and biliopancreatic bicarbonates in rats].

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to assess the relative contribution of duodenal and biliopancreatic bicarbonate secretion to acid neutralization in the duodenum, in basal conditions, during stimulation by PGE2 and during acid infusion in the duodenum. METHODS: Forty rats were anaesthetized and the duodenum was infused with 0.9% saline. Bicarbonate originating from duodenal mucosa and from biliopancreatic secretion was independently collected and measured. In neutralization studies, HCl was infused in the duodenum, and the amount of residual acid escaping from the duodenum was determined with and without bile and/or pancreatic juice diversion. RESULTS: Basal duodenal and biliopancreatic bicarbonate outputs were respectively 10.0 +/- 0.66 and 2.4 +/- 0.31 mumol/10 min. PGE2 increased duodenal mucosal bicarbonate by about 100%. Eighty-five percent of infused HCl was neutralized by duodenal mucosal bicarbonate. In neutralizing the remaining 15%, pancreatic secretion was slightly predominant, 46% for a HCl concentration of 5 mM and 71% for a HCl concentration of 40 mM. CONCLUSIONS: These results shows that in the anaesthetized rat, available bicarbonate in the duodenal lumen and HCl neutralization ability are mainly dependent upon bicarbonate secreted by the duodenal mucosa.
