Learning objectives To illustrate various common and rare entities affecting the biliary system in children through an image based review and to provide differentiating features amongst various entities.
Read more Background A myriad of pathologies can affect the pediatric biliary tree and the spectrum varies according to age of presentation. Majority of the patients present with a common complaint of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.Role of imaging To confirm the presence of biliary obstruction Determine the exact location of obstruction To assess the probable cause

Three major anatomical types are recognized as per Kasai classification [fig 2] .Imaging FeaturesUltrasound (USG)-  Gall bladder (GB) ghost triad- Atretic GB <15 mm in...
Read more Conclusion Radiologists must be aware of the imaging features of common pediatric biliary pathologies and should simultaneously be acquainted with the rare disorders. Multimodality imaging assessment is a prerequisite to establishing an appropriate management plan. An algorithmic evaluation may assist in establishing diagnosis amongst the various entities [fig 23] [fig 24] . [fig 25]
