Abstract
Abstract
Biliary tract disease is currently the leading cause of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) and complications of rupture are associated with high mortality and morbidity even with current medical knowledge advancement. We report a 35-year-old female who presented in emergency setting with complaints of jaundice, abdominal pain, fever, and respiratory distress. Patient had prior history of endoscopic management of biliary stones about 6 years back followed by asymptomatic period. Patient was managed by percutaneous drainage of left lobe liver abscess and left pleural empyema after initial resuscitation with further investigations revealing biliary stent with left hepatic abscess with transdiaphragmatic extension into left hemithorax. Neglected biliary stent has been reported to cause severe cholangitis with PLAs and these patients require immediate timely attention to the management of abscess and its complications.
