Biliary atresia and choledochal cyst have the similar clinical presentation in infants. Herein, we report a case that presented with prolonged hyperbilirubinemia and abdominal distension and diagnosed as choledochal cyst.

The diagnostic accuracy of laboratory investigations in the prelaparotomy differentiation between extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and intrahepatic disease (IHD) was assessed in 86 consecutive infants presenting with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. Forty five infants had EHBA and 41 IHD. The mean serum bilirubin concentration, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) activity, and the GGT/aspartat...
