    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Bile ascites is defined by higher bilirubin levels in ascitic fluid compared to serum.
    • Common duct stones are a rare but significant cause of bile ascites in neonates.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of neonatal bile ascites linked to common duct stones are presented.
    • A literature review identified 11 additional cases of common duct stones presenting as bile ascites.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention is the described treatment for bile ascites and common duct stones.
    • The review indicates an 83.3% survival rate, suggesting successful outcomes despite the condition's severity.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical management of common duct stones are crucial for treating neonatal bile ascites.
  • This condition, though severe, has a favorable prognosis with appropriate medical and surgical care.
