DESCRIPTION
Congenital anomalies are very hard to detect by the lab investigations ,proper lab investigations and assessment is a challenge and this case is one of the challenges.TRANSCRIPT

A four years old female child ,born with physiological neonatal jaundice . At the age of six months she presented with an attack of :
Bile stained vomitus
Epigastric and right hypochondrial pain
Pallor & fatigue
CASE PRESENTATION
The attack lasted for 7-10 days
![Page 5: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• These attacks were repeated, twice at the age of two years and 3 times at the age of three ,and twice at the age of four .These last two attacks were associated with fever????
• In between the attacks the girl was totally free except for transient attacks of epigastric pain
• During these attacks the following was done:

Mild dilatation of the Gall Bladder
Dilatation and irregular caliber of the common bile duct with (3-5 ) 5 mm stones , no intrahepatic biliary dilatation
The spleen was slightly enlarged
Liver and pancreas were totally free
In between the attacks there were no stones but the G.B remained dilated and also was the CBD

CASE PRESENTATION
CHOLESTATIC LIVER DISEASES3. Autoimmune cholangitis
Liver biopsy is the gold standard
Same picture of primary biliray cirrhosis with negative AMA may overlap with autoimmune hepatitis

CASE PRESENTATION
CHOLESTATIC LIVER DISEASES1. Mechanical Bile Duct Obstruction
( STONES)•Bile stained vomitus•Presence of stones by imaging techniques•Increased plasma activities of canalicular enzymes ALP & GGT• Increased cytosolic enzymes AST & ALT•Bilirubin is not increased so this is partial obstruction
![Page 45: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A Question needs to be answered?
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF STONE FORMATION?
![Page 46: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
There are three types of biliary stones…….
•Pigmented stone
•Mixed stone
•Cholesterol stone
![Page 47: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
There are three types of biliary stones…….
•Cholesterol stone
•Bile is supersaturated with cholesterolSupported by increased cholesterol ( diet or genetic)
•Decreased bile acid secretion (terminal ileal disease, cholestatic liver diseases)
![Page 48: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
There are three types of biliary stones…….
Pigmented Stone
Hemolytic anemia
1.CBC2.
Reticulocytes
3. Coomb`s negative
4.Osmotic fragility negative2.Sickling
test
Deconjugation of bilirubin due to cholestasis & infection
1.Stone formation2.Congenital anomaly
![Page 49: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Anatomical deformities in the bile duct at the level of the duodenum (Ampullary
dysfunction)This could be diagnosed and treated by ERCP
Congenital anomalies
Due to the her age 4 years
and her size ERCP couldn't be done
8.3 - 10.3 years
SO if these attacks become life threatening so Cholecystectomy and biliary diversion is the only solution
![Page 50: Case presentation ( lab investigations of congenital anomalies )](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55851fd8d8b42aea748b4c0a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Colestatic form of liver disease associated lately with ascending cholangitis needs ERCP for Diagnosis and treatment
• Autoimmune hepatitis (type II) and/or autoimmune cholangitis
• need liver biopsy for further assessment
FINAL DIAGNOSIS
I HOPE THAT WE COULD HELP HER TO GET HER SMILE BACK
