Choledocholithiasis refers to which of the following?

Choledocholithiasis Cholecystitis Pancreatitis Pyloric stenosis

Correct Answer:

Choledocholithiasis

Explanation:

Choledocholithiasis means stones in the common bile duct. The term breaks down as “choledocho” (the common bile duct) plus “lithiasis” (stone formation). This distinguishes it from cholecystitis, which is inflammation of the gallbladder; pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas (though CBD stones can cause it); and pyloric stenosis, which is narrowing of the pylorus at the stomach outlet.
