“…Ultrasound will show free or loculated intraperitoneal fluid with normal intra-and extra-hepatic ducts. [3,5,7] In our case, a increase in the WBC count and conjugated bilirubin was detected. Common bile duct perforation should also be considered if the patient presents with acute abdomen symptoms with elevated conjugated bilirubin and pericolic fluid shown in USG and CT imaging.…”

“…The causes are various and include spontaneous or idiopathic causes, anomalies of the pancreaticobiliary ductal system, congenital, trauma, choledochal cyst, infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, and iatrogenic. [1,3,5] The etiology of spontaneous perforation of CBD is unclear, however the proposed theories include congenital, ischemia, distal biliary obstruction, pancreaticobiliary malunion, and infection. The condition is mostly diagnosed intraoperatively.…”

“…Extra hepatic biliary perforations in neonates and infants typically occur along the common bile duct. Several etiologies have been described in the literature and range from anomalous union of the pancreatico-biliary ductal system, congenital weakness of the ductal system, choledochal cysts and trauma [9]. Gallbladder perforation is rare and has been shown to result from trauma, gallstones, distal obstruction, and typhoid fever [9].…”
