  • Title: Computed tomographic diagnosis of a common bile duct abscess and secondary extrahepatic biliary duct obstruction in a potbelly pig.
    Author: Sannajust K, Palmisano M, Whisenant K, Slack J, Holt D, Woodrow J, Manzi TJ.
    Journal: Vet Radiol Ultrasound; 2024 May; 65(3):303-307. PubMed ID: 38513150.
    Abstract:
    A potbelly pig was evaluated for anorexia and icterus. Clinicopathologic abnormalities suggested an active inflammatory hepatobiliary process. Ultrasound and CT of the abdomen revealed an extrahepatic biliary obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD). Surgical exploration and choledochotomy revealed a markedly dilated CBD containing a large volume of intraluminal inspissated biliary material. This case report describes the imaging findings of an extrahepatic biliary obstruction secondary to abscessation within the CBD in a pig.
