It is rarely suspected and diagnosed preoperatively due to small number of cases, vague sign and symptoms, and ambiguous presentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We describe an interesting case of spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct in a 16\u00a0year-old female who presented a week after her first birth to the emergency department with complaints of diffuse abdominal pain, abdominal distention, fever, vomiting, and constipation. She was having generalized peritonitis but the etiology was unclear despite a thorough workup. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, and a perforation in the supra duodenal region of the common bile duct was found intraoperatively. The common bile duct was repaired over T-tube, and cholecystectomy was performed; the patient was recovered uneventfully.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Spontaneous biliary perforation is a rare cause of acute abdomen in adults and extremely rare in pregnancy. Its delayed diagnoses and management can lead to a high morbidity and mortality. All physicians, especially surgeons, should be aware of this possibility and consider it a cause of peritonitis on differential diagnosis particularly when there is no apparent etiology available for presentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-021-01230-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,8]],"date-time":"2021-05-08T05:03:07Z","timestamp":1620450187000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Spontaneous common bile duct perforation in full term pregnancy: a rare case report and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Matiullah","family":"Masroor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Arif","family":"Sarwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"1230_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"0924","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6060(98)70018-2","volume":"124","author":"A Kumar","year":"1998","unstructured":"Kumar A.
