Abstract

We present a case of an anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (a long common channel) that was clearly demonstrated by extraductal ultrasonography with a transduodenoscopic miniprobe placed in the duodenal lumen. The present case suggests a potential indication for the ultrasound miniprobe, in extraductal ultrasonography, in the pancreatobiliary region. In this method, the position of a miniprobe can readily be adjusted under endoscopic guidance, unlike ordinary endoscopic ultrasonography.
