Cholangitis is one of the two main complications of choledochal stones, the other being gallstone pancreatitis. The most common presentation is fever, epigastric or right upper quadrant pain, and jaundice. These classic symptoms, well known as Charcot's triad, are present in about two thirds of patients.
