    Abstract:
    A case of extrahepatic biliary atresia (EBA) associated with trisomy 18 is presented. A 1-month-old boy was suspected to have Alagille syndrome with obstructive jaundice, a systolic heart murmur, growth retardation, and a small, pointed chin. However, surgery and chromosomal analysis revealed EBA associated with trisomy 18. Chromosomal examination must be performed in patients with jaundice and congenital anomalies. It is possible that EBA in trisomy 18 syndrome is due to a chromosomal disorder.
