Jaundice - Case 15-4: 6-Week-Old Girl:
IV. Clinical Presentation
(Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)
Infants with biliary atresia often present in the first 2 to 6 weeks of life
with acholic stools, hepatomegaly, and jaundice. Over time the urine darkens,
the jaundice persists, the liver grows (as bile stasis worsens), and even the
spleen may enlarge. In the early weeks and months, these children often appear
well and have unremarkable medical histories. If the disease goes untreated,
malnutrition, growth retardation, and liver dysfunction emerge. Portal
hypertension, coagulopathy, and hypersplenism may develop. In untreated
patients, average expected survival time is about 1 year.
In this case, the baby presented with a direct hyperbilirubinemia but also a
mild elevation of liver enzymes suggestive of hepatocellular injury. This is
common in EHBA, although these findings may also be seen with neonatal
hepatitis or other disease entities, and indeed there can be considerable
overlap in clinical and laboratory findings among the various etiologies of
conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The complete blood count was not suggestive of
acute infection, and the urinalysis appeared benign. The absence of
urobilinogen is actually consistent with an obstructive cholestasis, because
its formation requires entry of conjugated bilirubin into the intestine for
degradation by gut bacteria. The presentation of a jaundiced but otherwise
well-appearing 6-week-old infant with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia prompted an
immediate search for an obstructive process, and hepatic scintigraphy strongly
suggested the diagnosis that was confirmed by intraoperative cholangiogram.

Jaundice - Case 15-6: 5-Week-Old Girl:
IV. Clinical Presentation
(Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)
Alagille syndrome typically manifests as cholestasis in the first months of
life. Clinical and laboratory findings of the liver disease include jaundice,
acholic stools, pruritus, growth failure, conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and
elevations of hepatic enzymes. Most patients with Alagille syndrome also have
heart murmurs, and the underlying heart conditions range in severity from
benign (e.g., mild peripheral pulmonary stenosis) to complex disease requiring
surgery (e.g. tetralogy of Fallot). The most common ocular finding in Alagille
syndrome is posterior embryotoxon, a dysgenesis of the anterior chamber of the
eye (best seen on slit-lamp examination) in which there is prominence of
Schwalbe
's ring, a ridge of collagenous fibers surrounding the periphery of Descemet's membrane.
Patients with Alagille syndrome often have a distinctive facies that may be
detectable as early as infancy. Features can include a triangular face with a
broad forehead and pointed chin, deeply set eyes, and a long nose with a
bulbous tip. Xanthomas are another physical finding common to patients with
Alagille syndrome.
Other problems associated with Alagille syndrome include renal anomalies (both
structural and functional), pancreatic insufficiency, intracranial hemorrhage,
and cognitive impairments. Assessments of renal function and anatomy (i.e.,
ultrasonography) should be performed. The patient presented in this case, for
example, demonstrated slow but spontaneous improvement in her renal function
and never required alkali supplementation.
