Biliary atresia (BA) is a congenital obliterative cholangiopathy of unknown aetiology, affecting both the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. Although relatively rare, BA must be excluded in any infant with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia since the prognosis is improved by early diagnosis and prompt surgery.

The Lancet, 2009
Biliary atresia is a rare disease of infancy, which has changed within 30 years from being fatal to being a disorder for which effective palliative surgery or curative liver transplantation, or both, are available. Good outcomes for infants depend on early referral and timely Kasai portoenterostomy, and thus a high index of suspicion is needed for ...

Liver, 2001
Abstract: Although the prognosis of biliary atresia has been improved in recent years, particularly in the era of liver transplantation, hepatic portoenterostomy, e.g., the Kasai operation, is still the first line of surgical treatment. Successful hepatic portoenterostomy depends on early diagnosis and operation, adequate operative technique ...

To the Editor.—It is somewhat puzzling to read the recent article on congenital biliary atresia in the August issue of theJournal(130:830,1976) by Kobayashi and co-workers and many others like it in recent literature. In theWestern Journal of Surgery, Obstetrics, and Gynecology(58:714, 1950) there is an article entitled "Surgical Relief of External ...

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Three infants are described in whom acquired biliary atresia developed during the perinatal period. In two cases this was related to a spontaneous perforation of the bile duct, and in the other it probably was related to previous surgery for duodenal and ileal atresias.

Pathogenesis of Biliary Atresia
Pediatrics, 1986To the Editor.— The report of biliary atresia in one identical twin is of interest. As the authors' state, the observation suggests that the malformation may be acquired rather than of genetic origin. Many pediatric pathologists consider biliary atresia an acquired defect in a large, but unknown, proportion of affected patients.

Hepatology, 1984
Extrahepatic biliary atresia is defined as partial or total absence of permeable bile duct between porta hepatis and the duodenum. The incidence varies from 1:8,000 to 1:10,000. Cholestasis is total and permanent. 131I Rose Bengal test and needle liver biopsy allow correct identification of 95% of cases before surgery Before ...

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1979
This chapter discusses the causes and management of extrahepatic biliary atresia. Extrahepatic biliary atresia, the most common of the progressive hepatic disorders, is itself a rare disease affecting approximately 1: 14,000 live-born infants. It is, nevertheless, the most important hepatic cause of morbidity in infancy and early childhood.

Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) is an inflammatory fibrosing process affecting the extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary tree resulting in fibrous obliteration of the extrahepatic biliary tract, ductopenia of intrahepatic bile ducts, and biliary cirrhosis.
