What Does This Result Of Abdomen Indicate?

I had a ct scan of abdomen pelvis w/contrast as pain in stomach. Report says I have fatty infiltration of the liver, Pneumobilia is identified in the left lobe. Extrahepatic bile ducts are dilated, likely reflecting the prior cholecystectomy. What does this all mean? Could this cause a lot of bloating?

hello,
welcome to HCM
pneumobilia means air in the billiary tree.
it occurs when there is entry of air from enteric system to billiary system.
causes are-recent instrumentation (ERCP),gall stone,billiary enteric anastomosis,pancreatitis,BE fistula,etc.
extrahepatic billiary duct dialated means the hepatic duct and CBD are dialated.cause is distal obstruction.
many of this causes are associated with bloating discomfort.
i shall advise you to consult a gi surgeon with your reports.
hope this will help you.regards.
