Computed Tomographic Findings in Lemmel Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Obstructive Jaundice

Lemmel syndrome should be suspected in a patient with features of obstructive jaundice when choledocholithiasis, pancreatobiliary tumors, and strictures have been ruled out. Computed tomography remains the preferred imaging modality because of its easy accessibility, less time consumption, and non-invasive nature.

Abstract

Lemmel syndrome should be suspected in a patient with features of obstructive jaundice when choledocholithiasis, pancreatobiliary tumors, and strictures have been ruled out. Computed tomography remains the preferred imaging modality because of its easy accessibility, less time consumption, and non-invasive nature.
