ERCP and CT findings of ectopic drainage of the common bile duct into the duodenal bulb.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ERCP and CT findings of ectopic drainage of the common bile duct into the duodenal bulb.


CONCLUSIONS
Although rare, the diagnosis of ectopic drainage of the common bile duct into the duodenal bulb is important to prevent inadvertent damage during biliary tract or gastric surgery and to clarify the cause of chronic peptic ulcers.
