Abstract
An 80-yr-old woman with advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent a placement of endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) tube from the common hepatic to common bile duct through the stricture. Magnetic resonance cholangiography clearly demonstrated the later dislocation and obstruction of the EBD tube. The present case suggests that magnetic resonance cholangiography may be a potentially useful tool in the management of EBD tubes.
