In patients showing no visualization of the gall bladder in the cholecystograms, oral cholangiograms have shown in some cases visualization of the gall bladder, at times with stones. In the nonvisualized gall bladder with cystic duct obstruction, it has been possible by oral cholangiography to visualize pathologic common bile ducts, sometimes with stones. In the postcholecystectomy syndrome, there have been revealed pathologic dilated common bile ducts, common duct . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
