A 26-year-old male presented with jaundice and recurrent cholangitis. Ultrasonography revealed dilated intra- and extrahepatic biliary tree packed with multiple calculi. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and computerised tomography scan confirmed the findings and a diagnosis of recurrent pyogenic cholangitis was made. Cholecystectomy, choledocholithotomy with removal of stones and Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy were performed.
