Key Words Unexplained common bile duct dilatation; Endoscopic ultrasound; Normal liver enzymes
Core Tip Common bile duct dilatation, often without identified causes, in subjects with normal liver function tests and nonspecific abdominal symptoms, and absence of lesions on prior noninvasive imaging tests, is increasingly found in the clinical practice. Since the clinical suspicion for biliary pathology in that setting is usually low, and there are limited literature data, this condition is ignored. However, recent evidences show the existence of pathologies among these patients, often with a non-benign course. In this scenario, endoscopic ultrasound may have a role in the identification of the etiology of dilatation.
