Traumatic haemobilia: case reports.
Injury to the liver may result in traumatic haemobilia. Three cases are reported, with differing clinical presentation resulting from different forms of injury. Haemobilia may present difficulties in diagnosis, particularly if there has been a long delay between injury and presentation. The use of selective hepatic arteriography as a diagnostic aid and treatment by hepatic artery ligation are outlined.
