| Popis: | Background. Biliary atresia is the leading cause of liver transplantation in children. It is associated with other congenital anomalies. The presentation of biliary atresia with situs inversus is a rare case. Case presentation. A 2-month-old female presented with jaundice since 15 days of life, acolic stools, and tea-colored urine. On further evaluation, she was found to have dextrocardia and situs inversus. A liver biopsy was performed and showed hepatic fibrosis due to extrahepatic cholestasis. Abdominal ultrasound and MRCP confirmed a liver in the left hypochondrium and suggested biliary atresia. Conclusion. Although rare, every patient with biliary atresia should be screened for congenital situs inversus, which has a poor prognosis. |
