[Sclerosing cholangitis following the surgical treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver].
The authors report a case of sclerosing cholangitis following surgical treatment of a hydatid cyst of the liver. The review of the literature demonstrates the rarity of this serious complication. The authors speculate on the mechanism of this disease: postoperative infection of the common bile duct, or chemical trauma associated with a cysto-biliary fistula. No single hypothesis seems to be able to account for all of the signs of this condition.
