Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
49 y/o man w/history oflaparoscopic cholecystectomy 7 days earlier presented to co-defendant physician for follow-up, as he suspected retained gallstones for which he believed an ERCP was needed. Pt instructed to return to ED & was admitted.Insured physician evaluated pt for abnormal liver function tests & abdominal pain. Non-invasive MRCP was performed which showed dilation of right hepatic ducts; right hepatic duce obstruction from a space occupying structure or extrinsic pressure & clinical correlation was suggested of further evaluation with ERCP. It was determined that a ERCP would take place as soon as the pancreatitis resolved in order to evaluate the common bile duct and to remove any/all stones from the duct.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Insured Physician performed ERCP to access the bile duct and remove gall stones, but he could not cannulate the bile duct after multiple attempts for over one hour.Physician ordered a CT of the abdomen & pelvis. Results of CT were (1) dilated segmental right hepatic bile ducts and probable post-surgical changes in the gallbladder fossa, (2) non-specific 2.0 cm lymph node anterior to the IVC near the porta hepatic. Insured physician was not notified of the results; report does not reflect it was copied to any physician outside the hospital.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
Pt was discharged by attending physician (not insured physician) with final diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, common bile duct stone suspected.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Plaintiff alleges insured physician failed to follow up on the results of the abdominal & pelvic CT and failed to diagnose cholangiocarcinoma, resulting in patient¿s death approx 15 months later.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Death.
