Oriental cholangiohepatitis: sonographic findings in 48 cases

JH Lim, YT Ko, DH Lee and KS Hong
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.

Oriental cholangiohepatitis is characterized by recurrent attacks of abdominal pain, fever, chill, and jaundice and grossly dilated extrahepatic and intrahepatic ducts containing soft, pigmented stone and pus. Sonograms were studied in 48 patients in whom the diagnosis was later proved during surgery (n = 34) or on the basis of clinical and laboratory findings and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (n = 14). The sonographic findings included intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile duct stones (n = 47); moderate to severe dilatation of the extrahepatic ducts with relatively mild or no dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts (n = 41); localized dilatation of the lobar or segmental bile ducts, especially the left hepatic lobe (n = 16); and gallstones (n = 22). Our experience suggests that the preoperative diagnosis of oriental cholangiohepatitis can be strongly suggested by sonographic findings.
