Cholescintigraphy for Differentiation of True Duodenal Obstruction Versus Pseudo Obstruction.

We present a case of a 51-year-old female with bilious vomiting and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Hepatobiliary scan showed lack of radiotracer transit to the small bowel with mild reflux into the stomach. Giving the patient a small amount of water prior to obtaining delayed imaging was successful in excluding true duodenal obstruction secondary to variant anatomy such as malrotation.
