Abstract:
Hepatobiliary scintigraphy has been widely used for the differential diagnosis of neonatal cholestasis. Relatively good hepatic uptake with no evidence of excretion into the bowel for up to 24 h is a representative finding of biliary atresia. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy has very high sensitivity and moderate specificity. Here, we report a false-positive case of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in a child with a choledochal cyst, which mimicked biliary atresia.
