Bronchobiliary fistulae have very rarely been reported as a result of trauma. Herein, a case is reported and seven previous cases discussed. All were a result of thoraco-abdominal injuries and all had biliptysis. Early exploration via a transthoracic approach is recommended. This approach resulted in a shortened hospital stay and decreased morbidity.
