Biliary atresia and meconium ileus associated with Niemann-Pick disease.
A boy, and 10 months later his sister, presented in the neonatal period with meconium ileus. Both became jaundiced and were found to have biliary atresia and Niemann-Pick disease, type C. The causes of the meconium ileus were not established. Both died before the age of 6 weeks.
