MRI diagnosis of a long cystic duct merging with the accessory pancreatic duct: A case report.
Anatomical variations of the extrahepatic bile ducts are multiple and better known since the advent of Bili-MRI. Their knowledge by radiologists and surgeons is essential in hepatobiliary surgery. A case of a long cystic duct merging with the accessory pancreatic duct has never been reported.
