Abstract
Biliary atresia constitutes a serious problem in early infancy, due to the concomitant cholestasis. The conventional classification falls into 3 main types: type I, atresia of the common bile duct; type II, atresia of the hepatic duct; and type III, atresia of the porta hepatis. We report 2 unusual cases of biliary atresia type III with a cystic structure that could be mistaken for correctable biliary atresia or choledochal cyst.
Atrésie des voies biliaires avec un kyste extra- hépatique large: rapport de deux cas
L'atrésie biliaire constitue un vrai problème dans la jeune enfance, en rapport avec la choléstase. La classification conventionnelle retrouve trois types: le type I, atrésie des voies biliaires; le type II, atrésie du canal hépatique; le type III, atrésie de la porta hepatis. Nous rapportons deux cas inhabituels d'atrésie des voies biliaires de type III avec une structure kystique qui pourrait être considérée comme une atrésie des voies biliaires traitable ou un kyste du cholédoque.
Atresia biliar no corregible con quiste extrahepático grande: presentación de dos casos
La atresia biliar constituye un problema serio en la infancia cuya clasificación convencional distingue 3 tipos principales. Tipo I: Atresia del conducto biliar común. Tipo II: Atresia del hepático. Tipo III: Atresia de la porta-hepatis. Presentamos dos casos raros de atresia biliar tipo III con estructura quística que puede ser confundida con atresia biliar corregible o quiste del colédoco.
Nicht korrigierbare Gallengangsatresie mit großer extrahepatischer Zyste: ein Bericht von zwei Fällen
Gallengangsatresien sind schwerwiegende Probleme im Kindesalter mit Cholostase. Nach konventioneller Klassifikation können drei Typen unterschieden werden: Typ I: Atresie des Hauptgallenganges, Typ II: Atresie der Ductus hepatici und Typ III: Atresie der Pfortader. Es wird über zwei ungewöhnliche Fälle von Gallengangsatresie Typ III mit zystischen Strukturen im Gallenwegsbereich berichtet, die als korrigierbare Atresieform oder Choledochuszyste missgedeutet werden könnten.
