Gallstones and Stones in the Bile Duct
Gallstones in the bile duct are known as bile duct stones. They can form in the gallbladder and then move into the bile duct, or they can form entirely in the bile duct. Stones can become lodged in the bile duct, causing it to become blocked. Gallstones and bile duct stones (also known as choledocholithiasis) are the same thing; they're just in different parts of your body. Stones may pass through the bile duct on their own. However, when a stone becomes lodged in the bile duct, medical intervention is required because irritation, bacterial infection, and even severe organ damage can occur.
