I had a ct scan done, they said that my gallbladder duct is enlarged but there's no stones, what causes this?

Specializes in Hospital-based practice

Old stones: There may be an old stone or a tumor at the end of the ducts causing the dilation. Or you could sphincter of Oddi dysfunction caused by a variety of meds. A good doctor is needed but you have to show him/her the pictures. Use Healthtap Prime or talk to whoever ordered the CT test. Good Luck.
