Introduction: Extrahepatic biliary tract injuries from blunt abdominal trauma are exceptionally rare and are often overlooked due to delayed and nonspecific clinical presentation.

Methods: A 55-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain, jaundice, and fever following a motor vehicle accident. Clinical examination and initial investigations were inconclusive. Further imaging and surgical exploration revealed a partial transection of the common hepatic duct. The patient underwent multiple staged procedures including T-tube drainage and supportive management.

Results: Postoperative recovery was prolonged but successful, with resolution of symptoms and normalization of liver function. Coordinated care involving surgical, gastroenterological, and radiological teams contributed to the favorable outcome.

Conclusion: Blunt trauma to the extrahepatic bile duct, although rare, must be considered in patients with progressive jaundice post-trauma. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary intervention are critical for optimal patient outcomes.
