Abstract

We report a clinical case of OLT in a 10-year-old boy with iatrogenic BCS and BBF following three operations because of traumatic liver rupture and pulmonary contusion caused by a traffic accident 4 years ago. On follow-up, the child was asymptomatic.

Keywords: bronchobiliary fistula; iatrogenic Budd-Chiari syndrome; pediatric liver transplantation.
