Experience with and complications of postoperative choledochofiberscopy for retained biliary stones.

Biliary calculi retained after choledochotomy were removed from 66 patients by means of the Olympus fiberoptic choledochoscope via a T-tube tract. The stones were lodged in the common bile duct in 18 of the patients and in the intrahepatic ducts in 48 patients. Complete removal of the retained stones was achieved from the common bile duct in 16 cases and from the intrahepatic ducts in 38. No further measures were necessary in these patients. The complication rate of choledochofiberscopy was low. Of the total 218 endoscopies, 8 were followed by abdominal pain, 6 by chills and fever and 2 by bleeding from the fistula tract. A duodenocutaneous fistula developed in one patient. Postoperative choledochofiberscopy is a useful and effective method for the management of retained biliary calculi.

Cryptophthalmos syndrome with bilateral renal agenesis.

We conducted a postmortem study of an infant with the abortive form of the cryptophthalmos syndrome. He had syndactyly and anal atresia and also showed features of Potter's (renal nonfunction) syndrome, including bilateral renal agenesis, pulmonary hypoplasia, and the typical facies. Histopathologic examination of both globes disclosed that the superior eyelid folds were partially replaced by skin that fused with the superior third of each cornea; there were also anomalies of the superior canaliculi and scarring of the corneas. We found no specific abnormality of the intraocular contents.
