Abstract

      Hemobilia is a rare condition first described in 1948 and later reported in case reports and small series in which there is hemorrhage into the biliary tree. Most common etiologies of this condition include blunt or penetrating trauma and iatrogenic causes from surgical or interventional procedures.  We present a case report of hemobilia seen after blunt trauma.
