Congenital hepatic fibrosis: CT findings in 18 adults.

2004

To evaluate the computed tomographic (CT) findings in adult patients with pathologically proved congenital hepatic fibrosis.This was a retrospective review of congenital hepatic fibrosis cases identified at two institutions over the course of 8 years. Eight men and 10 women with an age range of 22-72 years (mean age, 39 years) were included. Contrast material-enhanced and unenhanced CT scans were obtained through the liver in all patients. Two radiologists evaluated size of and morphologic findings (atrophy or hypertrophy localized according to hepatic segments) in the liver; increased diameter or number of hepatic arteries at the hilum; presence of hepatic nodules, varices, spontaneous spl…

Successful treatment of pancreatobiliary fistula by endoscopic stenting

2004

An unusual pancreatobiliary fistula occurred as a complication of chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic papillotomy was performed and a plastic endoprosthesis was inserted into the main pancreatic duct. The pancreatic stenting led to the closure of the fistula and no additional surgical treatment was necessary.

Endoscopic stenting for postoperative biliary strictures due to hepatic hydatid disease: effectiveness and long-term outcome.

2003

Background Postoperative strictures due to hepatic hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus surgery is considered to be a rare cause of benign bile duct strictures, especially in the Western world. Goals The aim of this retrospective study is to demonstrate possible characteristics of the strictures as well as the effectiveness of long-term endoscopic stenting. Study Between 1994 and 2001, we treated 10 of these cases in our clinic. All patients had surgery for hepatic Echinococcus disease one or more times. These types of benign biliary strictures, secondary to surgery of hepatic hydatid disease, were multiple and located in the proximal common bile duct. Endoscopic stent therapy was carried…
