Activity Description

Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is a rare clinical entity, often forgotten in the typical differential, but when identified, the treatment of which has the potential to improve the quality of a patient's life. The typical patient, for this diagnosis of exclusion, will present with recurrent biliary colic type symptoms, generally after completion of a cholecystectomy, often in concert with a transaminitis, pancreatitis, or both. More severe cases can progress to clinically apparent obstructive jaundice and chronic pancreatitis, although rare. While several of these signs and symptoms are also present in more morbid disease processes, once those are ruled out, attention should then be turned to Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction as a possible cause for the patient's complaints.
