Ultrasonography in Obstructive Jaundice
Radiology, 1977The usefulness of ultrasonography in the preliminary evaluation of obstructive jaundice is described in 35 consecutive patients with icterus. Diagnosis was substantiated by laparotomy, autopsy, or liver biopsy. In 23 patients with dilated bile ducts at ultrasonography, obstruction by tumor, stone, or stricture was proven operatively.

Obstructive jaundice in macroglobulinemia
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1972AbstractDysproteinemias usually present with bleeding from mucosal membranes. It has never been reported to cause hemobilia. We are reporting two cases of macroglobulinemia that presented with obstructive jaundice secondary to hemobilia. Although we are not sure of the source of the hemobilia, cholecystectomy and removal of the blood clots from the ...

Ultrasound in Obstructive Jaundice
Australasian Radiology, 1986ABSTRACTThe ultrasonographic findings of 44 patients, with obstructive jaundice were retrospectively reviewed. Our conclusions from this study are: Ultrasound is an excellent modality for detecting dilatation of the biliary tree (in part or in total) and assessing the degree of dilatation, but it does not reliably detect the obstructing lesion often ...

The case of a 67-year-old male patient affected by ingravescent obstructive jaundice, calcific choledocholithiasis and cardiopathic hypertension, is presented. On sonography, marked dilatation of intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts with a hyperechoic round neoformation was visualized. CT was performed to ascertain the nature of the lesion.

Archives of Surgery, 1968THE diagnostic problems which are presented by icteric patients have troubled physicians for centuries. The observations of Soranus of Ephesus from the first century were translated by Caelius Aurelianus,1a fifth century physician, as follows: According to the Greeks, the disease of jaundice gets its name (icteros) from an animal of yellowish color ...

Radiologic Evaluation of Obstructive Jaundice
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1974Radiologic methods helpful for evaluating jaundiced patients fall into two main categories – the physiologic and the anatomic. The physiologic methods depend to some degree on the functional status of the hepatic parenchymal cells for their efficacy, while the anatomic modalities depend solely upon demonstration of abnormal anatomy.

Pathophysiology of Obstructive Jaundice
2021Biliary tract obstruction causes jaundice, pruritus, and cholangitis. Patients with malignant obstructive jaundice suffer from malnutrition and may develop deficiencies of nutrients. The deficiency of vitamin K causes coagulopathy. Preoperative biliary drainage can reverse some of the pathophysiological effects of biliary obstruction.

Magnetic Resonance in Obstructive Jaundice
Australasian Radiology, 1989ABSTRACTTwelve cases of obstructive jaundice in whom ultrasound failed to demonstrate the site and/or the cause of obstruction of the biliary tract were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), correctly diagnosing the site and cause of obstruction in 10 of 12 surgically proven cases.
