ABSTRACT
Aim:
To report a case of "Biliary-cast" syndrome in a patient without previous medical history of liver transplantation
Material and methods:
Medical files of a patient were studied and documented. A literature review based on available data on "pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov" was performed.
Case report:
The given paper describes a case of treating "Biliary - Cast Syndrome" in a patient with acute biliary pancreatitis and pulmonary embolism. "BCS" is most often encoutered in clinical pratice as a complication of liver transplantation. There are singular cases of "BCS" in patient without history of liver transplantation presented in literature. In our case post-operative period of endoscopic papilosphincterotomy for acute biliary pancreatitis was complicated by pulmonary embolism with further development of BCS and cholangiogenic absceses.
Summary:
The problem of “Biliary-cast” syndrome remains insufficiently studied, now this syndrome occurs less and less often as a complication after liver transplantation due to the evolution of surgical technique. The occurrence of “Biliary-cast” syndrome without liver transplantation is represented by isolated cases in the world literature, often in severe, comorbid patients.
