Abstract
This report describes an impaired sphincter of Oddi relaxation function in relation to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. As indicated by repetitive amyl nitrite-augmented quantitative hepatobiliary scintgraphy, normalization of serum lipids by means of diet and a 3-month treatment period with 20 mg of lovastatin per day resulted in an improvement of sphincter of Oddi relaxation.Entities:
