Abstract

Hemobilia is defined as the presence of blood into the biliary tree characterized by the triade: jaundice, right hipochrondrium pain and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Among the etiologies highlighted in order of frequency there are: liver trauma (accidental and iatrogenic), inflammatory causes, ionfections and vascular diseases. There are many complementary tests for the diagnosis of hemobilia, such as imaging, endoscopic and angiography; the latter being considered the diagnostic tool and therapeutic modality of choice.

Er report the case of a 25-year-old female patient with iatrogenic hemobilia produced during the practice of cholecystectomy.
