title: [Posthepatic jaundice caused by abnormalities of the pancreaticobile duct system in early childhood].
abstract: Anomalies of the pancreatico-biliary tract present the most frequent cause of posthepatic cholestasis in the young child, whereas calculous disease or infections or compression by vascular abnormalities or neoplasms are less frequent. Generally, abdominal pain and jaundice begin acutely and increase following progressive biliary congestion. The preoperative diagnosis by ERCP or PTC or the intraoperative diagnosis of a relevant pancreaticobiliary anomaly stress the necessity of an operative management performing a bypass of the Sphincter Oddi and of the site of the anomaly. Local operative revision alone seems to be associated with a frequent relapse of cholestasis.
