Introduction: The mainstay of therapy for patients with choledocholithiasis-induced obstructive pancreatitis is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Cholangitis, or inflammation or infection of the common bile duct caused by ERCP, is an uncommon consequence that has a significant fatality rate in extreme situations. One month after ERCP, we report an uncommon instance of incidental findings of strong FDG uptake in the common bile duct without clinical signs of acute cholangitis, which is suggestive of CBD inflammation linked to or exacerbated by ERCP.

Keywords:cholangitis; [18F] FDG PET; ERCP.
