Abstract
The combined dilatation of pancreatic and common bile ducts is known as double duct sign and occurs most commonly in malignancy of the head of pancreas. Courvoisier's law states that, in a patient with obstructive jaundice, if the gallbladder is distended and palpable, it is not due to common bile duct stones. We present our case, a 62-year old female patient who presented to our department with obstructive jaundice. She was found to have a large common bile duct stone exhibiting both double duct sign and Courvoisier's sign. We discuss the current literature pertaining to these signs and highlight their significance in day-to-day clinical practice.
