Abstract

The management of a case of hemobilia in a child after abdominal trauma is described. Two intrahepatic false aneurysms and an arterioportal fistula in the right lobe of the liver were diagnosed by ultrasound and Doppler and successfully embolized during the diagnostic angiogram. Selective angiographic embolization may save the patient an operative procedure and appears to be an acceptable method for primary treatment of this condition in children.
