ABSTRACT
Pneumobilia is a phenomenon associated with the presence of a biliary-enteric fistula or manipulation of the bile duct during procedures or surgical interventions that cause dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi. A known, but infrequently reported event, is the increase in intraabdominal pressure after closed abdominal trauma, which causes pneumobilia due to a mechanism of retrograde air leakage towards the bile duct. Depending on the general compromise of each patient, the prognosis can vary from a benign condition that only requires conservative management, to being life threatening. We present the case of a 75-year-old male patient who, after suffering a closed thoraco-abdominal trauma, presented with rib fracture and, in addition, gallbladder wall rupture, pneumoperitoneum, pneumobilia, and pneumowirsung, having a favorable clinical course after receiving conservative management.
RESUMEN
La neumobilia es un fenómeno asociado a presencia de fístula bilioentérica o manipulación de la vía biliar durante procedimientos o intervenciones quirúrgicas que condicionan disfunción del esfínter de Oddi. Un evento poco reportado, pero ya conocido, es el aumento de la presión intraabdominal tras un trauma abdominal cerrado, que condiciona neumobilia por un mecanismo retrógrado de fuga de aire hacia la vía biliar. Según el compromiso general de cada paciente, el pronóstico puede variar desde un cuadro benigno, que solo requiere un manejo conservador, hasta ser amenazante para la vida. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 75 años, quien después de presentar un trauma toracoabdominal cerrado cursa con fractura costal y, además, ruptura de pared vesicular, neumoperitoneo, neumobilia, y neumowirsung, cursando con evolución favorable tras recibir manejo conservador.
