Abstract
Bilio-bronchial fistula due to hydatid disease is a rare but severe condition. Three levels, abdominal, diaphragmatic and thoracic, may be involved, with high perioperative mortality. We report a case of bilio-bronchial fistula successfully managed by thoracotomy. Thoracotomy is the best approach for surgical treatment at all three levels.
