Biliary pseudolithiasis
Biliary pseudolithiasis refers to an unusual complication of ceftriaxone where the drug complexes with calcium and mimics gallstones.[1][2] It is reversed when ceftriaxone administration is stopped.[2] It was first described in 1988 by Schaad et al. as "reversible ceftriaxone-associated biliary pseudolithiasis".[2]
