Detection rates of cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis in infants and children have increased since the introduction of ultrasonography, and surgical treatment is gradually tending to increase. However, for cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis, controversies over etiology, diagnostic means, operation time, and operating method remain. Using ultrasonogram and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), we diagnosed cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis in a premature and low birth weight infant who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of obstructive jaundice and alcoholic feces. We report the successful treatment of this infant by cholecystectomy and T-tube drainage.
Amputation neuroma of the common bile duct after surgery is a rare and mostly asymptomatic lesion. A 60-year old patient presented with obstructive jaundice three months after a cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones. Imaging investigations showed common extrahepatic bile duct stenosis. Surgical resection of the stricture with biliodigestive anastomosis was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed an amputation neuroma. Despite its rarity, amputation neuroma of the common bile duct should be considered in patients with post-cholecystectomy syndrome following liver or extrahepatic bile duct surgical procedures.
