    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Biliary Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic active hepatitis and liver cirrhosis are significant liver conditions.
    • Gallbladder disease, including gallstones, can present with varied complications.

    Observation:

    • A 57-year-old female patient presented with symptoms suggestive of biliary obstruction.
    • The obstruction was identified as a gallstone lodged in the neck of the gallbladder.

    Findings:

    • The impacted gallstone caused a blockage of the common hepatic duct.
    • This obstruction occurred in a patient with pre-existing chronic active hepatitis and liver cirrhosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering gallbladder pathology in patients with advanced liver disease.
    • Accurate diagnosis and management of gallstone-induced biliary obstruction are crucial for preventing further liver damage.
