Hemobilia. An unusual cause of segmental bile duct obstruction. 1986

D E Jackson, and J L Floyd

Hemobilia is reported as an unusual cause of segmental bile duct obstruction. The finding of focal "hot spots" caused by delayed washout of the tracer from the obstructed segments is discussed. Whenever the clinical triad of pain, intermittent jaundice, and gastrointestinal bleeding is associated with the above findings, the diagnosis of hemobilia should be entertained.
