He described the clinical presentation of a nobleman who suffered a fatal blow from a sword to the right upper quadrant, leading to upper GI bleeding and death. Post-mortem, the source of bleeding was found to be a liver laceration, which in turn led to the landmark description of hemobilia. The first case of hemobilia identified pre-mortem was in 1777, by Antonie Portal. A century later, Quincke identified the three classical symptoms of haemobilia Quincke\u2019s triad.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u2018hemobilia\u2019 itself was coined only in 1948.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Clinical Presentation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The classical presentation of hemobilia is <strong>Quincke\u2019s triad<\/strong>&#8211; jaundice, epigastric or right upper quadrant pain, and upper GI bleeding. However, all three occur together only in 22-35% of cases- in the aforementioned case jaundice was not observed, but LFT derangement was present.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Causes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hemobilia can have iatrogenic, trauma ,neoplastic, , infectious and vascular etiologies. Though trauma has been the main cause<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">historically, iatrogenic causes have superseded others in recent years due to an increased number of complex procedures being done in the liver, pancreas and biliary tree.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Iatrogenic causes:\n<ul>\n<li>Percutaneous interventions<\/li>\n<li>Endoscopic interventions<\/li>\n<li>Surgical interventions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Malignancy<\/li>\n<li>Portal biliopathy<\/li>\n<li>Tropical haemobilia (Biliary worm infestation)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9010 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"HEMOBILIA -CAUSES OVER THE YEARS\" width=\"753\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-2.jpg 753w, https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-2-300x86.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>HEMOBILIA -CAUSES OVER THE YEARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Diagnosis:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hemobilia should be suspected in any patient with an unclear source of GI bleed, recent trauma to the upper abdomen or any biliary instrumentation or manipulation. The following imaging techniques are helpful in making a diagnosis of hemobilia:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CT abdomen\/MRCP<\/li>\n<li>Upper GI endoscopy<\/li>\n<li>Angiography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong><u>Management:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Minor hemobilia can be treated conservatively, with little more than IV fluids and correction of coagulopathy being required. Major hemobilia, involving significant decrease in haemoglobin and\/or persistent upper GI bleeding, requires endoscopic, radiologic (embolization), or (rarely) surgical intervention. Patients with haemodynamic instability should immediately be considered for angiography and embolization which has a 90% success rate in management. If signs of infection are detected, they must be promptly administered broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9011 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Management\" width=\"599\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-1.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/ima-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Untitled-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hemobilia is a rare but important cause of upper GI bleeding. Iatrogenic causes are the main causes of hemobilia. It classically manifests as Quincke\u2019s triad. Prompt recognition decides good<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">outcomes. Treatment is mainly by angioembolization of involved vessel if bleed is significant, and with backup interventional endoscopic or surgical options.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bibliography:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Berry, R., Han, J., Kardashian, A.A., LaRusso, N.F. and Tabibian, J.H.
