Abstract
Congenital biliary atresia with progressive sclerosis of the intra- and extra-hepatic duct system occurs in 1 : 10,000 live births, and has a poor prognosis with an expected survival of less than 5 years. Etiology of biliary atresia is unclear, however, it is believed a genetic or developmental cause.

Early diagnosis and surgical intervention have decreased morbidity. returned growth and development to normal and improved the prognosis for survival. Authors report the clinical and radiologic characteristics, proper managements about two cases with biliary atresia.
