A gallstone in the Roux-en Y limb during pregnancy in a female patient with biliary atresia.
A 28-year-old female developed liver dysfunction at the 13th gestation week of her second pregnancy. A postpartum radiological examination revealed a stone in the Roux-en Y (RY) limb. She underwent surgical removal of the gallstone in the RY limb. Bile congestion during pregnancy led to the development of a gallstone.
