Abstract EN
Aim.
The frequency of the Right Posterior Sectional Bile Duct (RPSBD) hump sign in cholangiogram when it crosses over the right portal vein known as Hjortsjo Crook Sign and the bile duct anatomy are studied.
Knowledge of the implication of positive sign can facilitate safe resection for both bile duct and portal vein.
Methods.
Prospectively, we included 237 patients with indicated ERCP during a period from March 2010 to January 2015.
Results.
The mean age (±SD) and male to female ratio were 38.8 (±19.20) and 1 : 1.28, respectively.
All patients are Arab from Middle Eastern origin, had biliary stone disease, and underwent diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP.
Positive Hjortsjo Crook Sign was found in 17.7% (42) of patients.
The sign was found to be equally more frequent in Nakamura’s RPSBD anatomical variant types I, II, and IV in 8.4% (20), 6.8% (16), and 2.1% (5), respectively, while rare anatomical variant type III showed no positive sign.
Conclusion.
Hjortsjo Crook Sign frequently presents in RPSBD variation types I, II, and IV in our patients.
