Mostra as dificuldades mais comuns e sugere como näo cair na armadilha de um diagnóstico falso ou provocar sofrimento na criança com pedidos desnecessários de exames e prescriçäo de dietas inúteis.

A nine-week-old infant presenting with cholesatis was found to have neonatal hepatitis caused by cytomegalovirus. This was confirmed serologically and by a liver biopsy. Four weeks after discharge, she still had acolic feces. Another liver biopsy was performed, and it suggested now extrahepatic biliary atresia. Because this disease can co-exist with congenital infections and inborn errors of metabolims, evaluation for an obstructive cause of jaundice in infants with a recognized cvause of intrahepatic cholestasis is necessary, and close observation of these infants is important because we still don't have a test that completely excludes Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia in an infant with cholestasis
