We present a case of a fish bone impacted in the papilla of Vater resulting in dyspepsia and mild elevation in liver function tests, that was subsequently treated endoscopically. Fish bones are one of the most commonly encountered of swallowed foreign bodies. However involvement of the biliary tract, such as the one described by us, represents an extremely rare complication of fish bone ingestion. The diagnosis of a foreign body in the biliary tract can be difficult and early endoscopic or surgical extraction may be required to avoid complications such as biliary stone formation, obstructive jaundice, cholangitis or cholecystitis and/or biliary sepsis. Prompt endoscopic treatment can avoid severe biliary complications or surgical therapy.

Introduction Commonly encountered foreign bodies are remnants from surgical procedures and ingested materials. Rarely, the latter cause stone formation in the biliary tract. Case History We describe a 51-year-old female who underwent choledoduodenostomy and who presented with abdominal distension caused by multiple stones in the bile ducts within the liver (hepatolithiasis) and an intact celery stalk. Hepatolithiasis was demonstrated by ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen. The celery stalk was not confirmed until exploration of the biliary duct. Conclusions Here, we describe, for the first time, an intact, undigested celery stalk in the biliary tract which induced hepatolithiasis. We believe that choledochojejunostomy favoured reflux of the celery stalk from the duodenum into the biliary tract.

Introdução: Colangite piogênica recorrente (CPR) é uma patologia de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada por ataques recorrentes de dor abdominal, febre e icterícia, secundários a dilatações e estenoses dos ductos intra-hepáticos e subsequente formação de cálculos. É prevalente no leste asiático, chegando a ser endêmica em algumas regiões, no entanto, o acometimento de pacientes de origem não asiática é raro. O diagnóstico é baseado em manifestações clínicas e exames de imagem. Se não tratada, está associada a progressão para cirrose biliar e falência hepática. Casuística: Foi relatado o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 38 anos, não asiática, com história de inúmeras internações nos últimos 10 anos por colangite, sem resolução efetiva do caso. Nesta internação submeteu-se a ultrassonografia, tomografia e colangiorressonância magnética de abdome que sugeriram dilatação da árvore biliar intra e extrahepáticas, com múltiplos cálculos em vias biliares e vesícula biliar preservada. A Colangeopancreatografia retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) evidenciou dilatação de vias biliares intra e extrahepáticas, múltiplos cálculos, abrupto afilamento e arborização diminuída de ductos biliares intrahepáticos, confirmando o diagnóstico de CPR. Procedeu-se a papilotomia e retirada dos cálculos, com melhora total dos sintomas. Discussão: O relato torna-se relevante para advertência da maior necessidade de suspeição diagnóstica de CPR em pacientes com ataque recorrente de dor abdominal, icterícia e febre, principalmente quando acompanhados de dilatação de vias biliares e presença de cálculos intra-hepáticos, em função da raridade da patologia em acometer não orientais e a sua alta morbi-mortalidade quando não tratada. Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangitis in not Asian Womam: Case ReportIntroduction: Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by recurrent bouts of abdominal pain, jaundice and fever secondary to intrahepatic ductal dilatation and strictures, and subsequent intrahepatic stone formation. It is prevalent in eastern Asia, being endemic in some regions, but, the occurrence in non Asian patients is rare. The diagnosis is based in clinical manifestations and examinations of image. If not treated the recurrent pyogenic cholangitis is associated with high morbi-mortality with progression for biliary cirrhosis and liver failure. Casuistic: This paper reports a case of a non Asian 38-year-old female with a history of some internments in the last 10 years due to cholangitis that was submitted to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography which suggested dilatation of the intra and extrahepatic biliary tree with multiple stones in the biliary tract and preserved gallbladder .Retrograded Endoscopic Cholangiopancreatography (REC) showed dilatation of the biliary tract, multiple gallstones confirming the diagnosis of RPC (recurrent pyogenic cholangitis). The removal of the gallstones by papilotomy brought the total removal of the symptoms. Discussion: The report is relevant to the greater need for warning diagnostic suspicion of cholangitis in patients with recurrent attacks of abdominal pain, jaundice and fever, especially when accompanied by dilatation of bile ducts and presence of intrahepatic stones, due to the rarity of the pathology in non Westerners and its high morbidity and mortality when left untreated.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a cholestatic liver disease characterised by chronic inflammation and fibro-obliteration of the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. It is associated with numerous hepatobiliary complications including an increased risk of malignancy (in particular, cholangiocarcinoma) and biliary tract stone formation. The evaluation of biliary strictures in patients with PSC is especially challenging, with imaging and endoscopic methods having only modest sensitivity for the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, and treatment of biliary strictures poses a similarly significant clinical challenge. In recent years, peroral cholangioscopy has evolved technologically and increased in popularity as an endoscopic tool that can provide direct intraductal visualisation and facilitate therapeutic manipulation of the biliary tract. However, the indications for and effectiveness of its use in patients with PSC remain uncertain, with only a few studies performed on this small but important subset of patients. In this review, the authors discuss the available data regarding the use of peroral cholangioscopy in patients with PSC, with a focus on its use in the evaluation and management of biliary strictures and stones.
