Popis: or both (1). None of them had concomitant CBD stone at the time of EUS. Eight patients (80%) of those with stone in the GB remnant or CDS had had open cholecystectomy, however 21 (27%) of the other 79 post-cholecystectomy status patients without GB remnant stone had had open cholecystectomy (P:0.002). Among the 10 patients with stone in GB remnant or CDS, liver enzymes were normal in 7 (70%), elevated in 2 (20%), and not available in 1 (10%) at the time of EUS. All the10 patients had several imaging procedures before EUS. In seven (70%) of them, all the previous imaging were non-diagnostic and EUS was the first imaging procedure which made the diagnosis. Six (60%) agreed to undergo repeat surgery. Five of six patients (83%) remained free of symptoms postoperatively after median follow up of 3.5 months. Conclusion: Stone in GB remnant or CDS is a frequently missed cause of biliary pain or acute pancreatitis after cholecystectomy. It should be particularly considered in those with a history of open cholecystectomy and normal liver enzymes. EUS is an important imaging procedure for making the diagnosis
