Transverse sonogram of the expected location of the duodenal bulb shows a curvilinear focus of increased echogenicity with posterior shadowing (arrow), findings consistent with a large gallstone with multiple foci of hyperechogenicity in the left liver lobe with ring‐down artifact (star), which suggests pneumobilia.
