Three cases of non-tumoural tight stenosis of the bifurcation of the hilar bile ducts

Abstract

Stenosis of the bifurcation of the hepatic bile duct is usually caused by malignant lesion. We report on three different causes of benign stenosis of the hepatic confluence with a similar radiological pattern on direct cholangiography. The first case is considered a spontaneous neuroma, the second a periductal abscess, and the third case a postoperative stricture Bismuth type 4.
