Obstructive jaundice--an unusual complication of duodenal tuberculosis: treatment with transhepatic balloon dilatation.
This is a report of a patient on treatment for duodenal tuberculosis, who developed obstructive jaundice due to a benign stricture of the terminal common bile duct. This complication of duodenal tuberculosis, to our knowledge, has not been reported before. Percutaneous, transhepatic balloon dilatation of the stricture alleviated the jaundice.
