An Atypical Presentation of Lemmel's Syndrome: A Rare Culprit of Intermittent Biliary Obstruction
Imaging features of Lemmel syndrome illustrating intermittent extrinsic compression of the common bile duct by a periampullary duodenal diverticulum. Current CT demonstrates abrupt CBD tapering with upstream biliary dilatation, while prior imaging shows preserved ductal caliber, supporting a dynamic obstructive process.
