Obstructive jaundice with duodenal biliary fistula: diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, case report, and literature review
This case highlights the critical role of multimodal imaging (MRCP/CT) in diagnosing rare biliary-enteric fistulas, particularly in patients with surgical histories. A multidisciplinary approach-combining endoscopic intervention and tailored laparoscopic surgery-proved effective for managing complex obstructive jaundice. Vigilant postoperative surveillance is essential to mitigate recurrence risks. Future studies should explore minimally invasive techniques for similar cases.
