  • Title: [Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in diagnosis of biliary atresia].
    Author: Goldin E, Wengrower D, Granot E, Shiller M, Ben-Sirah L.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1995 May 15; 128(10):612-4, 672. PubMed ID: 7601374.
    Abstract:
    The differential diagnosis between neonatal hepatitis and biliary atresia in the newborn is difficult and has therapeutic implications. Despite important advances in diagnostic tools, 10-20% of newborns with jaundice remain without definitive diagnosis. In recent years ERCP has played a decisive role in achieving definitive anatomic diagnosis, thus avoiding unnecessary exploratory laparotomy. We present our experience with ERCP using a pediatric duodenoscope in 18 newborns with inconclusive diagnoses of neonatal cholestasis.
