Abstract:
A 2-week-old Micronesian infant presented with spontaneous perforation of the common bile duct. Mild jaundice, acholic stools, and heavily bile-stained ascites were the main clinical features. The presentation of this rare disorder is characteristic enough to permit early diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice.
