Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biliptysis means coughing of bile which is a presenting symptom of a rare condition called bronchobiliary fistula (BBF). BBF is a connection between the biliary tract and bronchial tree. BBF mostly occurs secondary to malignancy, liver abscess, and trauma. Surgical approach in BBF management was the main management strategy, then endoscopic approach.
Case presentation
We managed our first encountered case of biliptysis endoscopically by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
Conclusion
ERCP management seems to be effective in management of biliptysis.
