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. The clinical characteristics include pronounced jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, pruritus, steatorrhea, xanthomas, growth retardation, portal hypertension, bleedings, ascites and respiratory infections. Oral manifestations have seldom been reported in patients with biliary atresia, but there may be enamel hypoplasia, delayed tooth eruption, and green teeth. 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. |
