This case study details a young male with recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, a serious biliary infection. Surgical intervention successfully removed stones and restored bile flow, resolving the condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis (RPC) is a neglected tropical disease characterized by recurrent biliary infections.
  • RPC commonly affects the intrahepatic bile ducts and is associated with pigment or mixed stones.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with jaundice and recurrent cholangitis.
  • Imaging studies revealed a dilated biliary tree packed with multiple calculi.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with recurrent pyogenic cholangitis.
  • Surgical management included cholecystectomy, choledocholithotomy for stone removal, and Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical management for RPC.
