Challenges in the diagnosis and management of spontaneous bile duct perforation: A case report and review of literature

Abstract: We report a case of 14-year-old male, who presented to us with complaints of severe pain in abdomen, vomiting, and inability to pass feces and flatus. He was diagnosed as a case of peritonitis after careful history, examination, and investigations. The exact cause of peritonitis was not known. Exploratory laparotomy was done, and it was found that there was perforation of the right hepatic duct about 1 cm proximal to its confluence with the left hepatic duct. Perforation was closed around the T-tube. Postopera… Show more

“…The experience of the surgical team is one of the most important factors in the management of patients with bile leakage ( 13 , 14 ). In our institute, the management of bile leakage has evolved after the introduction of the ISGLS definition, preferring a wait-and-see approach ( 15 , 16 ).…”

“…The most frequent cause of spontaneous biloma is choledocholithiasis [15, 16]. However, several causes of spon¬taneous perforation of bile duct have been seen due to ero¬sion caused by biliary stones that injured the duct wall; increased intraductal pressure due to an obstruction of the distal bile duct (by stones, carcinomas, or a reflux spasm of the sphinc¬ter of Oddi); thrombosis of a vessel supplying the bile duct wall; intramural infection of the duct as a result of cholangitis; regurgitation of pancreatic secretions into the bile duct; diverticulitis of the bile duct; and acute pancreatitis [17-19]. Bilomas are generally localized in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, neighboring the right hepatic lobe [16].…”
