ABSTRACT
During 5 years (1994-1998), 147 children suffering from congenital biliary atresia were admitted to NIP. Clinical manifestations include icterus, discolored stool and hepatomegaly. The gallbladder is absent; ultrasonography shows that its diameter doesn't change before, during and after meal in all patients. 136 patients among those children require a liver's transplantation. It means that, every years, there were 27 children suffering from biliary atresia who require a liver's transplantation.
