Perihepatic Biloma in a Non-cirrhotic Patient After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS).

Biloma is an intrahepatic or extrahepatic collection of bile within the abdominal cavity. It can occur spontaneously, or as a result of trauma to the biliary tree. The clinical presentation can be variable and non-specific. Early diagnosis is crucial given the high mortality rate. Diagnostic modalities include abdominal ultrasound, hepatobiliary scintigraphy, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment options include interventional radiology (IR)-guided drainage, endoscopic drainage, or surgical drainage with a bile leak repair. We report a case of a middle-aged non-cirrhotic patient who presented with abdominal pain and was noted to have extensive portal vein thrombosis. She underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with thrombectomy and the hospital course was complicated by elevated liver enzymes and found to have intrahepatic biloma requiring IR-guided drainage.
