  • Title: Bleeding as the first symptom of extrahepatic biliary atresia.
    Author: Houwen RH, Bouquet J, Bijleveld CM.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1987 Jul; 146(4):425-6. PubMed ID: 3498631.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of extrahepatic biliary atresia are reported. Each of these infants presented with haemorrhagic phenomena rather than with prolonged jaundice. The increased bleeding tendency was due to a vitamin K deficiency, probably caused by cholestasis-induced malabsorption. Therefore extrahepatic biliary atresia should be considered in each infant with a bleeding diathesis.
