年轻女性IgG4相关良性胆道狭窄症状病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

Biliary strictures occur due to the narrowing of the bile ducts, leading to impaired normal flow of bile. This leads to a spectrum of symptoms ranging from being asymptomatic to displaying symptoms secondary to obstruction. Hence, we present a case of a young female patient presenting to the Emergency Department with recurrent abdominal pain requiring intravenous analgesia; imaging shows stricture of the common bile duct with no pathological lesions but elevated plasma IgG4 levels. Our case is particularly unique because the patient displays no systemic features of IgG4-related disease yet requires serial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and oral corticosteroids. Given the peculiarity of such presentation in a young female patient, this case contributes to the ongoing research on the heterogeneity of IgG4-related diseases.
