ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticuli are often associated with biliary stones. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticuli in biliary stones.METHODS:
Three hundred and thirteen patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were studied prospectively.RESULTS:
Seventy-five patients had juxtapapillary duodennl diverticuli(24%). The occurrence of diverticuli increased with age and more commomly in female patients. The prevalence of diverticulii was higher in patients with commom bile duct stones(35.6% vs 17.6%; P 0.002) and gallbladder stones(33.3% vs 17.6%; P=0,001) than in patients without biliary stones (17.6%).CONCLUSIONS:
We conclude that biliary stones are associated with juxtapapillary diverticuli.
