Traumatic biliary fistula with bile duct disconnection.

ABSTRACT

A 43-year-old man was admitted to our department for accident. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed low-density shadows in the hepatogastric and peripancreatic space. The patient still has abdominal pain after the performation of CT-guided abdominal puncture and drainage. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed that the middle and lower segments of common bile duct were stricture and truncature. Endoscopic bile duct catheterization and drainage showed that the lower segment was dislocated and disconnected. Then the doctor used the balloon and contrast agent to pressurize, and at the same time, the distal common bile duct was pulled by the mirror, trying to straighten the common bile duct, changing its axial direction, and try to bridge it repeatedly by using the guide wire of misgurnus anguillicaudatus. The patient significantly improved over the next 3 days. After 11 months of follow-up, the patient came to our hospital to remove the biliary stent,and has no abdominal pain anymore.
