Common bile duct stone caused by a phytobezoar - 17/08/11
| Editor comment: Biliary foreign bodies are unusual in patients who have not had surgery or who do not have a biliary enteric fistula. It is conceivable, however, that just as ascaris can access the bile duct through an intact sphincter, so can vegetable matter, which then can act as a nidus for stone formation. It is always important to be on the lookout for instructive instances. Lawrence J. Brandt, MD Associate Editor of Focal Points |
