Vet. Sci."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Bilomas are encapsulated collections of bile outside or inside the biliary tract within the abdominal cavity. For diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, it is important to identify the origin of bile leaks from the biliary tract. This case report describes the usefulness of drip infusion cholangiography with computed tomography (DIC-CT) for detecting the site of bile leakage in a dog with biloma. A 10-year-old, castrated male Pomeranian dog was referred to our department for gastrointestinal signs. Abdominal ultrasonography detected gallbladder mucocele without evidence of defect on the wall and well-defined anechoic localized fluid accumulation around the right division of the liver. On the other hand, there was only a small amount of ascites in the abdominal cavity. The accumulated fluid collected through abdominocentesis had a bilirubin concentration of 11.4 mg\/dl, which was more than twice as high as that in serum (0.4 mg\/dl), but had absence of pyogenic bacteria. The DIC-CT with meglumine iotroxate showed two well-defined large fluid collections: one between right medial and lateral lobe and the other between the right lateral lobe and caudate process of caudate lobe. Three-dimensional DIC-CT views that the former was enhanced by the contrast agent and that it communicated with an intrahepatic bile duct of the right lateral lobe. Moreover, the DIC-CT images confirmed communication with each fluid collections. After 6 days of hospitalization, a decrease in the amount of accumulated fluid was confirmed, after which cholecystectomy was performed. The dog was discharged from the hospital without complications. No signs of bile leakage were observed on follow-up imaging on postoperative day 10. According to authors knowledge, this has been the first report to show that DIC-CT can be useful for determining the origin of bile leakage in dogs with bilomas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2022.854042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]],"date-time":"2022-03-07T06:31:16Z","timestamp":1646634676000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Case Report: Usefulness of Drip Infusion Cholangiography With Computed Tomography for the Diagnosis of Biloma in a Dog"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Masahiro","family":"Tamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Ohta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nene","family":"Hasegawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Hosoya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitsuyoshi","family":"Takiguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1014","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.132.6.1014","article-title":"Ultrasound detection of extrahepatic encapsulated bile: \u201cBiloma\u201d","volume":"132","author":"Gould","year":"1979","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"768","DOI":"10.17235\/reed.2015.3886\/2015","article-title":"Giant biloma as a result of a blunt abdominal trauma: A case report","volume":"107","author":"Ferrusqu\u00eda-Acosta","year":"2015","journal-title":"Rev Esp Enferm Dig."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2282","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.1998.00636.x","article-title":"Spontaneous rupture of an intrahepatic bile duct with biloma treated by percutaneous drainage and endoscopic sphincterotomy","volume":"11","author":"Fujiwara","year":"1998","journal-title":"Am J gastroenterol."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-3","article-title":"Spontaneous biloma managed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and percutaneous drainage: a case report","volume":"6","author":"Bas","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"785","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.158.4.1532111","article-title":"Bile duct disruption and biloma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: imaging evaluation","volume":"158","author":"Walker","year":"1992","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00187881","article-title":"Complications after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
