Benign strictures of the intrahepatic bile ducts were detected, by percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy combined with forceps biopsies, in a patient who presented symptoms suggesting cholangitis. The patient was successfully treated by non‐operative stricture dilation techniques, with the aid of cholangioscopy. In this paper, the usefulness of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy for the management of benign biliary strictures is discussed.
