Posttraumatic biloma formation: diagnosis and management
Clin. biomed. res; 39 (3), 2019
Publication year: 2019
One of the rarest complications of the hepatic trauma is a biloma, defined as an
abnormal bile collection outside the biliary tree, with intra or extrahepatic localization.
Patients with biloma do not present with specific clinical features, which demands a
challenging radiological diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of biloma due
to blunt hepatic trauma, in which the patient experienced a changing symptomatic
spectrum after surgery and had an interesting radiological investigation. The clinical
course, imaging features, and management of this case are discussed. (AU)
