Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Retrograde
|
D002760 |
[Fiberoptic endoscopy designed for duodenal observation and cannulation of VATER'S AMPULLA, in order to visualize the pancreatic and biliary duct system by retrograde injection of contrast media. Endoscopic (Vater) papillotomy (SPHINCTEROTOMY, ENDOSCOPIC) may be performed during this procedure.

Cholangiopancreatography, Magnetic Resonance
|
D049448 |
[Non-invasive diagnostic technique for visualizing the PANCREATIC DUCTS and BILE DUCTS without the use of injected CONTRAST MEDIA or x-ray. MRI scans provide excellent sensitivity for duct dilatation, biliary stricture, and intraductal abnormalities.

Cholecystitis, Acute
|
D041881 |
[Acute inflammation of the GALLBLADDER wall. It is characterized by the presence of ABDOMINAL PAIN; FEVER; and LEUKOCYTOSIS. Gallstone obstruction of the CYSTIC DUCT is present in approximately 90% of the cases.

Cholecystography
|
D002765 |
[Radiography of the gallbladder after ingestion of a contrast medium.
] |
|
Cholecystokinin
|
D002766 |
[A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

Cholecystolithiasis
|
D041761 |
[Presence or formation of GALLSTONES in the GALLBLADDER.

|
Cholecystostomy
|
D002767 |
[Establishment of an opening into the gallbladder either for drainage or surgical communication with another part of the digestive tract, usually the duodenum or jejunum.

Choledochal Cyst
|
D015529 |
[Concomitant PANCREATICOBILIARY MALJUNCTION and local dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct.
, Characterized by the presence of a singular or multiple intrahepatic cysts.
, Characterized by the presence of multiple extrahepatic and intrahepatic cysts.
, Characterized by the choledochocele dilatation of the distal portion of the COMMON BILE DUCT in the DUODENUM where the pancreatic duct (PANCREATIC DUCTS) enters.
, Characterized by the diverticulum arising from the extrahepatic biliary tree.
, Characterized by the fusiform or saccular dilatation of the COMMON BILE DUCT.
, A congenital anatomic malformation of a bile duct, including cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct or the large intrahepatic bile duct. Classification is based on the site and type of dilatation. Type I is most common.
