title: Hemobilia in a child with liver abscess.
abstract: Hemobilia in children is rare and has so far been described only as a complication of blunt abdominal trauma. A case of hemobilia secondary to liver abscess treated successfully by selective arterial embolization is described. Hemobilia should be considered in any case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage before any operative intervention is undertaken.
