Several gallbladder stones measuring about 5-10 mm were detected by abdominal ultrasonography.
Figure 2 No translucency indicative of stones in the bile duct was shown by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
Figure 3 No translucency indicative of stones in the bile duct was shown by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (A).
After withdrawal of the fiber, the posture was changed and the bile duct was imaged again. However, no translucency was observed (B).
