We report a case of spontaneous biliary perforation in a 21-month old female pediatric patient with the presenting symptoms of abdominal distension, jaundice, and umbilical hernia. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy showed tracer accumulation in the peritoneal cavity. Preliminary diagnosis of spontaneous biliary perforation was confirmed during surgery. After surgical repair of the biliary leakage, the patient recovered fully. This case shows the importance of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in patients suspicious for this condition.
