This case report describes a rare case of sump syndrome following RYCJ that presented with abdominal pain alone. Sump syndrome may have a wide array of presenting symptoms, and the pathophysiology of sump syndrome varies based on bilioenteric reconstruction. Although it has rarely been reported to occur in the distal blind CBD remnant following either RYCJ or hepaticojejunostomy, it is important to consider this in the differential for patients with abdominal pain following any bilioenteric reconstruction.
