ABSTRACT
To present a case of ascending cholangitis with resulting necrosis of the biliary system with perforation. Clinical Presentation and Intervention A 40-year-old male patient presented with upper abdominal pain, fever and jaundice assessed clinically and investigated by laboratory and radiological tests. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram and surgery were performed. However, because of extensive suppurative pancholangitis involving most of the intrahepatic radicles, sound surgical drainage could not be accomplished. Unfortunately, the patient died 2 days after surgery. In this case of severe cholangitis, endoscopic and surgical interventions were not successful and might have contributed to the worsening of the condition
