An extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) mimic- a case report
Journal Title: Pediatric Review: International Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Extra hepatic biliary obstruction is surgically correctable cause of neonatal cholestasis, with good outcome if operated within 6 weeks. We report a case mimicking biliary atresia clinically and on imaging (HIDA, MRCP) and had complete resolution after exploratory laparotomy. Per-operatively, bile ducts were found to be patent; subsequently patient’s bilirubin status and liver functions improved and child has been thriving well. Preoperative liver biopsy showed patent ducts with findings of cholestasis.
