title: Biliary leak in a child after liver transplant and value of delayed images.
abstract: A 2-year-old child underwent liver transplant and was referred for postsurgical abdominal pain. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with Tc-99m iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was performed and with the help of 24-hour delayed images, the diagnosis of biliary leak at the site of anastomosis was made possible. This case report confirms the value of delayed images to facilitate the diagnosis in unequivocal situations and reminds us of the usefulness of this noninvasive method, especially in pediatrics.
