This case report describes a child with biliary atresia and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HO), the second such case report of HO in a child with biliary atresia. Suggested pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed. Surgical intervention in the treatment of biliary atresia has clearly increased survival in affected children. The relationship between surgical intervention, either successful or unsuccessful, and hepatic HO remains speculative.
本病例报告描述了一名患有胆道闭锁和肥大性骨关节病(HO)的儿童,这是第二例关于胆道闭锁患儿发生HO的病例报告。文中讨论了可能的发病机制。手术干预治疗胆道闭锁明显提高了患病儿童的生存率。手术干预无论成功与否与肝脏HO之间的关系仍具有推测性。
