Dr. Ravi Shankar Bagepally | Dr. Vijay Rampally | Dr. Bharani Immaneni | Dr. Viswanath Reddy Donapati | Dr. Tajuddin | Dr. Vamsi Krishna Boddi Reddy
Abstract: Gastrointestinal tuberculosis (TB) is not uncommon in developing countries1, but involvement of the bile ducts and gallbladder is extremely uncommon2,3. Most of the previous reports indicated that biliary obstruction was due to enlarged tuberculous lymph nodes compressing the bile duct4-9. Only a few cases of biliary stricture due to tuberculous involvement of the bile ducts have been reported previously10 -12. Herein, we present a case of extrahepatic ductal TB that presented clinically with obstructive jaundice due to biliary stricture and treated successfully with ATT and Endotherapy.
