A 55-yeаr-оld mаle wаs admitted tо the hоspital through the emergency department for suspected gallstone pancreatitis. After study it was found the patient had acute pancreatitis, radiologic evidence of gallstones, and possibly stones in the common bile duct. The patient was taken to surgery for an open cholecystectomy and common duct exploration. It was confirmed the patient had chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis with obstruction of the biliary system. The physician stated the acute pancreatitis was a consequence of the bile duct stones, but the main reason for the patient’s admission to the hospital and the need for surgery were the gallstones and the bile duct stones. The patient had a slow but steady recovery from surgery and was able to return home for further convalescence.
