[Traumatic haemobilia in childhood (author's transl)].

The case of a 6-year-old girl is reported with severe hemorrhage and "false aneurysm" in the left hepatic lobe due to polytrauma. The diagnosis of the haemobilia which developed 6 weeks after the accident was established by arteriography and scintigraphy. Despite only conservative treatment no further bleeding recurred. Spontaneous restitution was controlled by arteriography and scintigraphy. A long-term follow-up after hepatic trauma is necessary because the haemobiliary syndrome may develop after an asymptomatic interval of several years.
