Resumen
ALONSO GOMEZ, Martín; AIRINY DELGADO, Lidsay y OTERO REGINO, William. The sign of Courvoisier Terrier. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.4, pp.331-334. ISSN 0120-9957.
In 1890 Ludwig Courvoisier and Louis-Felix Terrier described a common bile duct obstruction leading to secondary dilation of the gallbladder to the point that it could be felt. We present a case report which illustrates this important sign together with a historical account of the authors who first described it. We show how new diagnostic methods can help diagnose this etiology.
