Abstract:
A biliopleural fistula (BPF) is a rare and atypical manifestation of thoracoabdominal trauma. A stepwise approach for the management is recommended for a successful outcome. We report a case of a 22-year-old man who was referred to our hospital with respiratory discomfort after sustaining a gunshot injury in the right axilla. On investigations he had haemopneumothorax, central liver contusion with perihepatic fluid and a bullet lodged at the level of right renal hilum. He was at first managed by placing a right intercostal tube drain, which initially drained blood and subsequently started draining bile. He was managed successfully with endoscopic biliary stenting, pigtail drainage of subphrenic collection and antibiotics.
