Overview

Biliary dyskinesia is a failure of proper movement of the sphincter of Oddi.

Failure of the biliary sphincter can be distinguished from the pancreatic sphincter.


Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

Physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

The initial laboratory work-up should include: liver function tests (AST, ALT and, total bilirubin), amylase, and lipase.[1]

CT

CT scan is not helpful in gallbladder or biliary diseases.[1]

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is required in these patients in order to exclude structural conditions such as gallstone disease or cancer.[2] Ultrasound may be used in order to diagnose sphincter of oddi disorders (SOD) by measuring the common bile duct (CBD) diameter.[3]

Other Imaging Findings

Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) with an abnormal gallbladder ejection fraction (<40%) is a supportive criteria for diagnosing biliary dyskinesia but is not required for the diagnosis anymore.[1][4] Noninvasive procedures that may be used to evaluate and diagnose sphincter of Oddi disorders (SOD) are: ultrasound, HIDA scan, and MRCP.[3]

Other Diagnostic Studies

ERCP and sphincter of Oddi manometry may be used to rule out functional biliary sphincter of Oddi disorder (SOD) in patients who have had a cholecystectomy.[1] Although sphincter of Oddi manometry is the diagnostic tool for evaluating sphincter of Oddi disorders (SOD), it is an invasive procedure and has risk for complications.[2]

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Medical therapy mostly includes of symptomatic treatment of abdominal pain and IV opiates are the drug of choice, although some studies have suggested that opiates cause sphincter of Oddi contraction.[2][5]

Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is used to treat biliary dyskinesia. Endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy is performed in patients with sphincter of Oddi disorder (SOD) diagnosed by manometry.[2]
