  • Title: Complete biliary avulsion from blunt compression injury.
    Author: Arkovitz MS, Liang H, Pachter HL, Alexander P, Newman RM, Gittes GK.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1999 Oct; 34(10):1559-62. PubMed ID: 10549775.
    Abstract:
    The liver is the solid organ most commonly injured as a result of blunt abdominal trauma. Complete avulsion of the common hepatic duct is a rare and devastating type of hepatobiliary trauma. Here the authors report the case of a 7-year-old child who had complete biliary disruption as a result of an abdominal crush injury that was not diagnosed correctly preoperatively. The intraoperative diagnosis and treatment of this injury is discussed.
