Abstract
Bile duct injury caused by blunt abdominal trauma is rare and usually associated with liver parenchymal injury. The authors report the case of a 15-year-old boy with jaundice caused by a posttraumatic isolated common bile duct stricture without associated liver injury. Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) was performed and the jaundice disappeared 2 months after drainage commenced. Although restenosis and mild jaundice was revealed 2 years after injury, ERBD can be a first-line minimally invasive treatment of pediatric posttraumatic biliary stricture.
