Pneumobilia associated with small-bowel obstruction

Journal Article · · JAMA, J. Am. Med. Assoc.; (United States)
The authors present a patient who admitted complaining of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention. A roentgenogram of the abdomen revealed a dilated stomach and pneumobilia. At surgery, he was found to have proximal small-bowel obstruction. To their knowledge, this is the first case of pneumobilia associated with proximal small-bowel obstruction not associated with a gallstone.
