Abstract:
Fifty-five consecutive case-reports of patients with evidence of confirmed biliary tract dilatation on ultrasound imaging were reviewed retrospectively to assess value of combined indirect ultrasound signs and simple biologic data in determining etiologic diagnosis. The diagnostic value of certain groups of signs representing indicators of tumoral or nontumoral lesions was equal or superior to that of direct visualization of the occlusion.

Cholecystitis
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
