Abstract

Although bleeding was reported before as the first symptom in a few cases of biliary atresia, this association is not generally known. We treated 115-day-old female with extrahepatic biliary atresia presented with subdural hemorrhage rather than with prolonged jaundice. Four years after craniectomy and Kasai's hepatic portojejunostomy, she looks happy without jaundice nor brain damage sequela even though she had recent episode of esophageal variceal bleeding.
