    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Cholangio-thoracic fistulas are rare but serious complications.
    • This study analyzes eight cases managed between 1981 and 1987.

    Observation:

    • Cases were classified into bronchobiliary (BBF), bronchopleurobiliary (BPBF), pleurobiliary (PBF), and pericardiobiliary (PCBF) fistulas.
    • Key manifestations included biliary empyema, pneumonia, lung abscess, and biliptysis.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, with bile in the respiratory tract suggesting BBF.

    Findings:

    • Bronchoscopy may not reliably locate the fistula.
    • Perforation into thoracic structures can lead to fatal consequences like asphyxiation or hemorrhage.
    • Surgical management strategies for BBF and PCBF are discussed.
