Hemobilia as presenting manifestation of polyarteritis nodosa. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 2004 Mar-Apr; 23(2): 71-2http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/64115Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a multisystem necrotizing inflammatory vasculitis of medium-sized muscular arteries. Hepatobiliary complications secondary to thrombosis or aneurysm formation in PAN are rare and are associated with poor outcome. We describe an 18-year-old man with PAN who presented with hemobilia secondary to rupture of a hepatic artery aneurysm, which was successfully managed with coil embolization followed by immunosuppressive therapy.engAdolescentAneurysm --radiographyAneurysm, Ruptured --radiographyCombined Modality TherapyDiagnosis, DifferentialEmbolization, Therapeutic --methodsFollow-Up StudiesHemobilia --diagnosisHepatic ArteryHumansImmunosuppressive Agents --therapeutic useMalePolyarteritis Nodosa --diagnosisRisk AssessmentSeverity of Illness IndexTreatment OutcomeCase Reports
