[Hemobilia following liver injury]

A case of post-traumatic haemobilia is presented and the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this condition are discussed. In addition to coeliacography, spleno-portography and scan, retrograde endoscopic cholangiography is a valuable diagnostic technique. Treatment is operatively, by drainage and haemostasis of the affected area with liver resection or by ligation of the afferent arteries. In the case presented ligation of the left hepatic artery was successful.
