Fulltext PDFBroncho-biliary fistula (BBF), causing bilioptysis and persistent pneumonia is a rare complication of liver abscess in pediatric population. Only one case has been reported in pediatric literature. We report a case of a 4-year-old child, treated outside for liver abscess then presented to us with persistent bilious expectoration and respiratory distress. Computed tomography revealed a focal rent in the diaphragm with communication with segmental bronchi of right lower lobe. The child underwent thoracoscopic dissection of right lower lobe and repair of the rent. The child was asymptomatic and clinically well on follow-up after 1 month.
