Abstract

Thoracobiliary fistula (TBF) is a rare but highly serious complication of thoraco-abdominal trauma. The most significant factor in the early diagnosis of TBF is considered to be a laceration of the diaphragm and accompanied mostly by hepatic injury in the trauma of lower thoracic region. Fever, chills, biliptysis, abdominal and chest pain, pleural effusion, hepatomegaly and leucocytosis are among the most common presenting symptoms of TBF. Existence of indirect biliribun in sputum and/or pleural fluid is also supporting agents in the diagnosis. Even though there exist no optimal management of TBF, surgical and conservative approaches in its management are available. In cases where TBF treatment is started late, development of bile empyema with acute necrotizing bile bronchiolitis, pneumonia and sepsis is inevitable. In this article, a biliary-bronchial fistula case, which developed as a late complication after a gunshot injury and resulted in mortality, is presented

Özet

Torakobiliyer fistül (TBF) nadir ancak torako-abdominal travmanın ciddi bir komplikasyonudur. TBF’nin erken tanısında en önemli faktör, alt torasik bölge travmasında diyafram laserasyonu ve eşlik eden hepatik yaralanmadan şüphenilmesidir. Ateş, titreme, bilipitizi, karın ve göğüs ağrısı, plevral effüzyon, hepatomegali ve lökositoz en yaygın başvuru semptomlarıdır. Balgam ve/ veya plevral sıvıda indirekt bilirubin varlığı tanıyı destekler. TBF tedavisi için optimum bir yöntem olmamakla birlikte, cerrahi ve konservatif yaklaşımlar mevcuttur. TBF tedavisinde geç kalınırsa, safra ampiyemi ile akut nekrotizan safra bronşiyoliti, pnömoni ve sepsis kaçınılmazdır. Bu yazıda ateşli silah yaralanma sonrası geç dönemde gelişen ve mortal seyreden bir torakobiliyer fistül olgusu sunulmaktadır.
