Currently, magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) is used for the differentiation of biliary atresia (BA) from other causes of infantile cholestasis. The authors present a case of type I BA without an extrahepatic biliary cyst in a 2-month-old girl. MRC clearly visualized the patency of the gallbladder, cystic duct, and hepatic ducts with disappearance of the common bile duct. Intraoperative cholangiography demonstrated a cloudy appearance of the intrahepatic bile ducts, confirming the diagnosis of type I BA. We believe that this is the first reported case of type I BA without an extrahepatic biliary cyst diagnosed by MRC.
目前,磁共振胆胰管造影(MRC)用于鉴别胆道闭锁(BA)与婴儿胆汁淤积的其他病因。作者报告了一例2个月大女童的I型BA,无肝外胆管囊肿。MRC清晰显示胆囊、胆囊管和肝管通畅,胆总管消失。术中胆管造影显示肝内胆管呈浑浊外观,证实为I型BA。我们认为这是首例通过MRC诊断的无肝外胆管囊肿的I型BA病例。
