Bronchobiliary fistula (BBF), a rare complication of liver disease, is an abnormal communication between the biliary tract and bronchial tree. BBF may occur as a consequence of local liver infections such as hydatid or amebic disease, pyogenic liver abscess or trauma to the liver, obstruction of biliary tract, and tumor. As such management of liver disease with BBF is very difficult and often associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, timely diagnosis of BBF is imperative. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy along with hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography using Tc99m-mebrofenin is a very useful noninvasive imaging modality, in the diagnosis of BBF.
支气管胆管瘘(BBF)是一种罕见的肝脏疾病并发症,是胆道与支气管树之间的异常通道。BBF可能是由局部肝脏感染(如包虫病或阿米巴病、化脓性肝脓肿或肝脏外伤)、胆道梗阻和肿瘤引起的。因此,伴有BBF的肝脏疾病的治疗非常困难,且往往伴随着高发病率和死亡率。因此,及时诊断BBF至关重要。使用锝99m-美布芬宁的肝胆闪烁显像联合混合单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描是诊断BBF非常有用的非侵入性成像方式。
