Abstract: Spontaneous biliary perforation is a rare condition, predominantly observed in infants, characterized by the leakage of bile into the peritoneal cavity without any apparent cause. This case report discusses a 3-month-old female infant who presented with symptoms of jaundice and abdominal distension.
