[Usefulness of bile analysis collected via endoscopy in the diagnosis of microlithiasis and biliary sludge].

The search for cholesterol crystals in the bile, drawn during the endoscopy, represents a simple and reliable method in the diagnosis of the symptomatic biliary sludge. In our patients it was present in 82% of the cases. The injection of cholecystokinin appears to us absolutely necessary in order to obtain vesicular bile. The sensitiveness of abdominal sonography in the diagnosis of biliary sludge is weak, 13% of our cases. The clinical evolution with ursodeoxycholic acid treatment has been favourable in 83% of the treated patients.

[A difficult diagnosis].

We describe the case of a patient suffering from relapsing abdominal pain and vomiting over 4 years, in whom various radiological and endoscopic examinations remained normal. CT scan and MRI eventually showed a mesenteric mass corresponding to metastasis of an ileal carcinoid; this tumor was diagnosed only at laparotomy as well as his mesenteric and hepatic metastases. The different localization and clinical manifestations of carcinoid tumours as well as the difficulties of radiological diagnosis of tumours of the small bowel are mentioned; the diagnostic value of sonography. CT-scan and MRI in the diagnosis of hepatic metastasis is discussed.
