Abstract :
Biliptysis is a dramatic physical finding which suggests the presence of a direct communication (fistula) between the biliary and bronchial tree. We report a bronchial biliary fistula resulting from penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma and the use of positive-pressure ventilation to obtain initial fistula control prior to definitive surgical repair.
