Abstract :
Several hepatobiliary complications secondary to gastrointestinal perforation after ingestionof a fish bone have been described in the literature, the most common being liver abscess, which can bepotentially fatal. Treatment involves removal of the foreign body if possible (endoscopically or surgically),drainage of the abscess (radiologically or surgically), and appropriate antibiotic therapy. To our knowledge,no cases of hepatic hilar abscesses secondary to gastrointestinal perforation by a fish bone have beendescribed in the literature. We report surgical management of two cases of abscess localized in the hepatichilum secondary to the ingestion of fish bones.
