    Jaundice after the neonatal period needs investigation. A rare case of bile duct dilatation caused by an impacted gallstone in a hemophiliac highlights the need for surgical intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Post-neonatal jaundice necessitates thorough investigation to identify underlying causes.
    • Surgical etiologies of cholestatic jaundice, excluding choledochal cysts and biliary atresia, are uncommon.
    • Hemophilia presents unique challenges in managing surgical conditions due to coagulation defects.

    Observation:

    • A case study details a hemophiliac patient presenting with jaundice beyond the neonatal period.
    • Imaging revealed bile duct dilatation, suggesting an obstructive process.
    • The obstruction was identified as an impacted calculus at the ampulla of Vater.

    Findings:

    • The impacted ampullary calculus led to significant bile duct dilatation.
    • This rare presentation underscores the importance of considering surgical causes in complex cases.

  • Ultrasound findings were crucial in diagnosing the condition and guiding treatment.

    • Implications:

    • Prompt surgical intervention is critical for managing obstructive jaundice.
    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for post-neonatal cholestatic jaundice.
    • Management requires a multidisciplinary approach, especially in patients with bleeding disorders.
