Etiology-
- Trauma:
– Iatrogenic trauma (PTC) is the MC cause
– Blunt trauma is more common cause than penetrating trauma

- Vascular pathology: Aneurysm, angiodysplasia, hemangioma
- Uncommon causes: Malignancy, parasitic infestation, liver abscess, cholangitis

- The classic triad of symptoms and signs of hemobilia are upper abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and jaundice.
- The symptoms and signs of major hemobilia are melena (90% of cases), hematemesis (60% of cases), biliary colic (70% of cases), and jaundice (60% of cases).
- Upper gastrointestinal bleeding seen in conjunction with biliary symptoms must always raise the suspicion of hemobilia.
