Abstract:
We describe a case of hemobilia after liver biopsy, which resolved spontaneously. Clinical, analytical and sonographic monitoring were performed until the patient returned to normal. We highlight the particular characteristics of the onset and evolution in our case, as well as the role played by ultrasonography in diagnosing and monitoring. We conclude by pointing out the increasing frequency of hemobilia as a complication to invasive techniques.
