  • Title: [Biliary atresia in children].
    Author: Famulski W, Sobaniec-Lotowska M, Sulkowski S, Ostapiuk H, Kemona A.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 1989 May 01; 42(9):572-4. PubMed ID: 2629325.
    Abstract:
    Congenital biliary tract atresia was found in 0.58% of children dying in the first year of life. Most frequently atresia included the extrahepatic bile ducts, among them the common bile duct. Five cases (35.7%) had atresia associated with other developmental anomalies, which may suggest a genetic determination of the atresia. The most frequent cause of death of the newborns and infants with congenital biliary tract atresia was bronchopneumonia with associated biliary cirrhosis of the liver.
