It is an extremely rare complication of thoraco-abdominal injuries. It can be caused by congenital anomaly and also by hepatobiliary trauma, severe infection or iatrogenic procedures. The definitive diagnosis is made with aspiration of bilious fluid from the pleural space during thoracentesis, by finding a fistulous tract during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or cholagioscopy, or with finding an abnormal pleural accumulation of radioisotope during hepatobiliary nuclear imaging. Its symptoms include coughing, fever, dyspnea and pleuritc chest pain. Herein we report on a case of cholethorax following performance of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) to remove incidentally discovered common bile duct (CBD) stones.

Figure 3. A bottle of fluid shows yellow-brownish bilious fluid from thoracic cavity via chest pigtail catheter. 에합당한소견으로, 부폐렴성흉수또는횡경막하농양과같은복부감염에의한이차적인흉막삼출액을의심하여광범위항생제를투여하였으며, 내원 21병일때에 pigtail 카테터삽입을시행하여지속배액을유도하였고그날총 1400 ml의흉수가배액되었다. 그러나환자의흉강내에서배액되는흉수의색깔이담즙과비슷한황갈색소견을보여 (Figure 3), 담즙흉을의심하였고흉수생화학검사를시행하였다. 흉수검사에서총빌리루빈 21.4 mg/dl ( 혈청총빌리루빈 1.2 mg/dl), 직접 / 간접빌리루빈 11.7/9.7 고 담즙흉은 1850년도 Peacock에의해간포충증 (hepatic echinococcosis) 을진단받은 20세여성에게서병발한기관지담도누공의예로처음문헌보고되었다 (Dasmahapatra 등 2 에의해인용됨 ). 이후여러발생원인이보고되었으며담도흉강누공에는기관지담도누공을포함해서보고되고있는데, 선천적기형 3 의보고가있으며후천적원인으로는외상과관련되어간외상 1, 복부둔기외상 4, 흉-복부의총기손상 (gunshot injury) 5,6 등의예가보고되었으며, 감염과관련되어간의기생충감염 7, 간아메바농양 8, 담낭질환과관련된담낭흉강누공 (cholecystopleural fistula) 9 등이있으며의인성원인으로는담도스텐트의위치이동 찰 133

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Vol. 65. No. 2, Aug. 2008 자에서경피경간담도내시경술을시행하여결석제거를성공적으로치료한뒤퇴원했던환자가 3개월뒤에발생된황달, 발열, 호흡곤란, 우측견갑골부위통증및흉수로내원하였고재입원후시행한내시경역행췌담관조영술에서담관결석및담도흉강누공을확인하여확진하였던예였다. 그환자는비담도관 (nasobiliary catheter) 을우측간담도 (hepatic duct) 에삽입한뒤반복내시경역행췌담관조영술에서담관결석및누공의소실을확인하게되었으며천자된흉수에서담즙확인및 E. coli 균이배양되어항생제및흉강배액관으로배액치료받았다. 저자는다른경로의효과적인담즙배액이치료성공에중요하다고제시하였다. 본증례에서의담즙흉의발생에대한추론으로일련의교통사고와연관된외상에의한횡경막의손상이있었을가능성과횡경막파열등의손상은없는상태에서경피경간담도내시경술과관련된누공에서누출된담즙이환자가원래가지고있던횡경막결손을통하여흉강으로이동한경우를생각해볼수있는데, 저자들은전자의가능성이더높을것으로추정하였다. 그이유로는후진하는차에접촉되어환자가넘어진후또다른사고피해자에의해우측가슴부위를눌리면서당시심한흉통을호소하게되었고늑골골절이나흉수의발생은없었지만이후에도증상호전이적었던점, 경피경간담도배액술및담도내시경시술과정에있어서횡경막을통과하여담도로누공을형성하거나하는의인성의횡경막손상이관찰되지않았던점 (Figure 1, 2) 등을들수있다. 즉, 외상에의해환자의우측횡경막이전산화단층촬영영상에서확인되지않을정도의국소파열이동반되어있다가 PTCS 튜브를제거했을때인공적누공으로흘러나온담즙이파열된횡경막을통해누출되었을가능성이다. 당시저자들은정확한원인규명을위해흉강경검사시행을고려하였으나 pigtail 카테터유치후담즙흉의호전과환자의원치않음으로인해시행하지않아정확한감별적분석은하지못하였다. 또한경피경간담도내시경술을위해서는진행적인담도확장 (progressive duct dilatation) 과약 2주간누공의성숙 (maturation) 이필요하다 16. 따라서장시간튜브유치로인해누공의자연적막힘이더디게되면서본환자의담즙흉의발생과유지에영향을미쳤을것으로사료된다. 담즙흉은주로흉강-복부외상과관련된매우드문합병증이며특히의인성원인인간담도질환의시술및수술과관련되어발생할수있어간담도계의시술및수술이더욱보편화되어시행되고있는최근에그발생이늘어날가능 성이있을것으로사료된다. 그러나그동안국내에는담즙흉에대한문헌보고가없었으며, 저자들은최근외상후흉막성흉통과호흡곤란을호소하였고담도결석제거를위한경피경간담도내시경술이후에흉수가발생한한환자에서담즙흉을진단하고성공적으로치료한경험이있어이를보고하는바이다. 요 담즙흉은담도또는담낭과흉강사이에형성된누공을통해담즙이흉강으로누출되어흉수의형태로관찰되는흉막염의일종으로, 주로흉강-복부외상과관련된매우드문합병증이며그동안국내에는담즙흉에대한문헌보고가없었다. 이에저자들은최근외상후흉막성흉통과호흡곤란을호소하였고담도결석제거를위한경피경간담도내시경술이후에흉수가발생한환자에서담즙흉으로진단된환자 1예를경험하였기에보고한다. 약 참고문헌 1.
