Laparoscopic Management of a Rare Case of Spontaneous Biliary Perforation in an Infant
Spontaneous biliary perforation is a rare condition, predominantly observed in infants, characterized by the leakage of bile into the peritoneal cavity without any apparent cause. This case report discusses a 3-month-old female infant who presented with symptoms of jaundice and abdominal distension. The successful management of this case with a combination of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage and laparoscopic cholecystostomy is detailed, highlighting the importance of minimally invasive techniques in treating this condition.
