    Abstract:
    Conservative management of a traumatic biliopleural fistula. A female patient, 13 years of age, developed a right-sided haemothorax after a stab wound in the right para-vertebral region. Pleural effusion reoccurred after thoracic drainage was stopped. Ten days after the injury, thoracic puncture enabled a diagnosis of biliopleural fistula to be made, confirmed by ERCP and CT-scan. The fistula closed after repeat thoracic drainage combined with prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
