Abstract

We describe a unique case of a patient who presented with a linear, transverse filling defect in the common bile duct, detected by cholangiography, that was caused by the posterosuperior pancreaticoduodenal artery compressing the common bile duct associated with gallstones. We believe this case to be the first of its kind reported in the literature.
