Case Report Blunt Trauma: An Uncommon Cause of Bile Duct Injury
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Disruption of the biliary tree secondary to blunt trauma is a rare cause for extrahepatic bile duct injury [1-4]. It seldom occurs alone, hence, this type of injury is easily overshadowed by more overt surgical emergencies and may go undiagnosed, leading to complications and potentially adverse outcomes in the later course. The incidence of bile leaks following hepatobiliary trauma ranges from 0.5 to 2.1% depending on the methods used to diagnose the bile leak. We present here a rare case with injury to both IHBR (Intrahepatic Biliary Radicles) and EHBD (Extra hepatic Bile Ducts) as a consequence to abdominal trauma.
