title: Extrahepatic biliary obstruction due to stone.
abstract: Jaundice developing after the neonatal period requires prompt investigation. Surgical causes of cholestatic jaundice, apart from extrahepatic biliary atresia and choledochal cyst, are rare. We describe a case of bile duct dilatation associated with an impacted calculus at the ampulla of Vater in a haemophiliac. The ultrasound finding of a dilated duct was an indication to proceed to surgery.
