    Author: Lehur PA, Guiberteau-Canfrère V, Bury A, Cloarec D, Le Borgne J.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1992; 46(5):450-2. PubMed ID: 1416758.
    Abstract:
    The case-report describes the unusual formation of a bilious pleural effusion or "cholethorax" revealing a common bile duct injury secondary to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pleural drainage led to a diagnostic ERCP. Subsequently a Roux en Y hepatico-jejunostomy allowed a satisfactory outcome.
