Abstract: | Our patient had DISIDA scan at 39 days of age to exclude biliary atresia. Gut excretion was seen 18h after injection and the
diagnosis of neonatal hepatitis was made. Because of continued elevated liver function values, liver biopsy was performed
and demonstrated findings consistent with biliary atresia. Exploratory laparotomy performed 8 days after the scan showed patent
cystic duct, bile duct, and gall-bladder, but an atretic common hepatic duct. This case is an example of documented biliary
atresia demonstrating gut excretion on the DISIDA scan. |
