What is biliary atresia?
Biliary atresia is a serious but rare disease of the liver that affects newborn infants.
Biliary atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry a liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder. The condition is congenital, which means it is present from birth.
Causes ...
Biliary Atresia:
A condition in which the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not have normal openings. Bile becomes trapped in the liver, causing jaundice and cirrhosis. The gallbladder may be missing or abnormal.
Biliary atresia A congenital absence or underdevelopment of one or more of the ducts in the biliary tract. Correctable surgically.
biliary atresia - bile ducts do not have normal openings, preventing bile from leaving the liver. This causes jaundice (a yellow skin color) and liver damage known as cirrhosis. Biliary atresia is a birth defect.
biliary atresia - a condition in which the bile ducts are blocked or have developed abnormally to obstruct flow of bile in infants.
choledochal cyst - a malformation of the hepatic duct that can obstruct flow of bile in infants.
Biliary atresia: Congenital absence or closure of the major bile ducts, the ducts that drain bile from the liver. Biliary atresia results in a progressive inflammatory process which may lead to cirrhosis of the liver.

Biliary atresia is a rare form of bile duct blockage that occurs in some infants two weeks to six weeks after birth, a time when the bile ducts have not completed their development normally.

Other causes of obstructive jaundice are the absence of bile ducts (known as biliary atresia) or the destruction of bile ducts. Destruction of bile ducts can be caused by cirrhosis, a type of disease that destroys the liver.
