Abstract

External biliary drainage is a necessary procedure in some situations, particularly in tumor obstructions of the bile ducts. We report the case of a 51-year-old man with hyponatremia and functional renal failure after high-volume biliary excretion following external percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for an obstructive Klatskin tumor. Our case shows that internal drainage should be preferred to external drainage which is a source of hydro electrolyte and circulatory complications that can be life-threatening.

Keywords:
