GOMEZ-LOPEZ, Sofía et al. Common bile duct duplication associated with anomalous biliopancreatic junction: A case report. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2024, vol.39, n.2, pp.332-338. Epub 21-Nov-2023. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.2302.
Introduction.
Double common bile duct is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. This anomaly may be associated with bile duct stones, anomalous biliopancreatic junction, pancreatitis, bile duct cancer, or gastric cancers. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment is important to avoid complications.
Clinical case.
We report a rare case of double common bile duct associated with an anomalous biliopancreatic junction in a 30-year-old female, with prior history of acute pancreatitis, who presented with chronic abdominal pain. She underwent several imaging studies, without clear diagnosis. She was taken to surgical management where duplication of the type II common bile duct was documented with anomalous pancreatobiliary junction.
Results.
Reconstruction of the bile ducts and hepatico-jejunostomy were performed, with adequate postoperative evolution and final pathology report without evidence of tumor.
Conclusion.
Diagnosis is usually performed by an endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Treatment depends on the presence of anomalus biliopancreatic junction or concomitant cancer. In cases without associated malignancy, resection of bile duct and biliary reconstruction is the recommended surgical treatment.
