Abstract

stasis are thought to be of primary importance pre- disposing to octreotide induced gall stones,3 and this is supported by a report of impaired postprandial contractility' and our observation of a substantially increased fasting gall bladder volume.In conclusion, our findings show recovery of gall bladder function and asymptomatic resolution of gall stones when octreotide is withdrawn.
