I had a ct scan of abdomen pelvis w/contrast as pain in stomach. Report says I have fatty infiltration of the liver, Pneumobilia is identified in the left lobe. Extrahepatic bile ducts are dilated, likely reflecting the prior cholecystectomy. What does this all mean? Could this cause a lot of bloating?
Hello, welcome to ChatDoctorpneumobilia means air in the billiard tree.it occurs when there is entry of air from enteric system to billiard system. Causes are-recent instrumentation (ERCP), gall stone, billiary enteric anastomosis, pancreatitis,BE fistula, etc.extrahepatic billiard duct dilated means the hepatic duct and CBD are dilated. Cause is distal obstruction. Many of this causes are associated with bloating discomfort.I shall advise you to consult a GI surgeon with your reports. Hope this will help you.regards.
