Abstract
Extra-hepatic bile duct injury from blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon. Complete traumatic transection of the common bile duct (CBD) with subsequent complication of a choledochoduodenal fistula is extremely rare and only a handful of reports are found in the medical literature. We describe a 20-year-old male patient who presented with a complete transection of the CBD following blunt abdominal trauma and his subsequent planned staged management.
