What is Gastric Outlet Obstruction Secondary to Post Cholecystectomy Biloma: Case Report and Review of the Literature about?

## Background: Postcholecystectomy bilomas are relatively uncommon with a reported incidence of about 2.5%, and most often present with right upper quadrant pain and fever within seven days of the operation. There are a number of approaches to the treatment of this uncommon lesion. ## Case Report: The authors report a case of a cholecystectomy performed in a 35-year-old female which resulted in a biloma, presenting 11 days postoperatively with gastric outlet obstruction. The literature is reviewed to suggest the optimal management and treatment plans for this complication. ## Results: This patient was successfully managed with radiologic intervention for the treatment of a biloma and resulting gastric outlet obstruction after open cholecystectomy. ## Conclusion: Although uncommon, bilomas may present in an unusual manner such as with gastric outlet obstruction. As with early bilomas, they may be treated successfully with interventional radiologic techniques.
