Role of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in the evaluation and management of post-cholecystectomy pain due to biliary dyskinesia.

Imaging with technetium-99m analogs of imminodiacetic acid has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of various hepatobiliary diseases. The biliary ductal dilatation is usually late response of obstruction. With the development of TC-99m IDA scintigraphy, however, the functional aberrations associated with obstruction can be detected prior to the development of ductal enlargement identifiable by US & CT. We report a case of post-cholecystectomy pain due to biliary dyskinesia diagnosed by 99m TC-HIDA hepatobiliary imaging.

Peritonite bactérica espontânea numa paciente com fibrose hepática congênita e doença de Caroli / Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in a patient with congenital hepatic fibrosis and Caroli's disease

É descrito, cremos que pela primeira vez na literatura, um caso de peritonite bactérica espontânea (PBE) numa paciente com fibrose hepática congênita e doença de Caroli. A etiopatogenia da PBE é discutida
