Spontaneous biliary perforation (SBP) in infants is rare. Prompt surgical intervention, including biliary intestinal bypass for strictures, is crucial to prevent complications like biliary cirrhosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Neonatal Medicine

Background:

  • Spontaneous perforation of the biliary tract (SBP) is an uncommon condition in infants, with fewer than 100 reported cases.
  • Understanding the etiology and optimal management of SBP is critical for improving infant outcomes.

Observation:

  • Two infant cases of SBP are presented, highlighting diverse clinical presentations.
  • One infant presented with a retroperitoneal mass and perforation of the pancreatic common bile duct (CBD); the other had jaundice and perforation at the cystic duct/CBD junction with distal CBD stricture.

Findings:

  • The study challenges the notion that diminished distal ductal caliber is secondary to perforation.
  • Findings suggest distal biliary obstruction may not resolve with drainage alone, especially when associated with primary strictures.

Implications:

  • External drainage is advocated for SBP without ductal abnormalities.
  • Prompt biliary intestinal bypass is recommended for SBP with underlying strictures to prevent biliary cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
