Intrabiliary rupture is the most frequently seen complication of the hepatic hydatid cysts. Obstructive jaundice can be seen as a complication of the intrabiliary ruptured hepatic hydatid cysts due to the migrated cystic content into bile ducts. In this study, we present two rare complications seen in a patient who has intrabiliary ruptured hepatic hydatid cyst. Obstructive jaundice and secondary gallbladder hydatidosis depending on to the intrabiliary ruptured hepatic hydatid cyst in a 58-year-old man patient were diagnosed and treated. A large choledochal nonfragmanted germinative membran was found in the choledochus as the reason of biliary obstruction. Hepatic hydatid cyst is a world-wide disease. Intrabiliary rupture must be kept in mind in the patients who has hepatic hydatid cyst and biliary tract problems.
