Large gallstones may pass spontaneously

C D Johnson et al. J R Soc Med. 1985 Apr.

Abstract

We report two cases in which gallstones greater than 1 cm in diameter passed spontaneously from the common bile duct into the duodenum. The possibility of spontaneous passage should be borne in mind in the management of patients with common duct stones.
