AB  - Key  PointsBiliary  atresia  is  the  most  common  surgical  cause  of  cholestatic  jaundice  in  the  newborn.  It  is  suspected  based  on  laboratory  testing  demonstrating  direct  hyperbilirubinemia,  elevated  alkaline  phosphatase,  and  gamma-glutamyl  transferase.Biliary  atresia  is  progressive  inflammatory,  fibrosing  cholangiopathy.  Ultrasonography  cannot  distinguish  the  obliterated  extrahepatic  biliary  ducts,  but  can  suggest  the  diagnosis  if  there  is  an  absent  or  diminuitive  gallbladder  or  a  triangular  cord  sign.Ultimately,  cholangiography  is  the  gold  standard  for  confirming  the  diagnosis  of  biliary  atresia.
