  • Title: [Bilio-thoracic fistulas of traumatic origin].
    Author: Boumghar M.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1986; 123(8-9):457-62. PubMed ID: 3805190.
    Abstract:
    Biliothoracic, biliopleural or biliobronchial fistulae are rarely seen after thoracoabdominal traumatism or hepatic or biliary abscess. We report a case of bilio-bronchocutaneous fistula without clinical biliptysis 6 months after hepatic bisegmentectomy for lacerations from thoracoabdominal trauma. The diagnosis was confirmed at cutaneous fistulography. Recovery was complete after a few weeks of drainage alone. This case serves as a basis for discussion of the aetiology of biliothoracic fistulae, the mechanisms of formation and the therapeutic options.
