Q

Jaundice can be caused by which kinds of obstruction of flow?

A

intrahepatic or extrahepatic obstruction

20
Q

What are the three most common causes of jaundice??

A

1) Hepatitis
2) Biliary Atresia
3) Choledochal Cyst

21
Q

Hepatitis and Metabolic disease are what type of obstruction conditions

A

Intrahepatic (in liver)

22
Q

Choledochal cyst, biliary atresia, and spontaneous perforation of bile ducts are what type of obstruction condition?

A

Extrahepatic

23
Q

A liver infection that occurs within the first 3 months

Can caused by infections, idiopathic causes, metabolism errors, and metabolic disorders.

A

Neonatal Hepatitis

24
Q

How does neonatal hepatitis reach the liver?

A

through the placenta via the vagina from infected maternal secretinos, catheters, or blood transfusions.

25
Q

What does neonatal hepatitis look like on Ultrasound

A
  • normal to enlarged
  • echogenic w/ decreased visualization of portal venous structure
  • small GB if the hepatocellular dysfunction is severe.
26
Q

The narrowing or underdevelopment of the biliary ductal system

Most common form has an absent gallbladder

A

Biliary Atresia

27
Q

Biliary Atresia is more common in ________.

Male/Female

A

Male

28
Q

Clinical features in a neonate indicates what pathology
________

Persistent jaundice, acholic stools, dark urine, and distended abdomen

A

biliary atresia

29
Q

A patient comes in and the scan shows a normal to enlarged liver, normal/increased echogenicity, change in GB size after drinking milk (suggests hepatic and CBD are patent)

What would this indicate?

A

Biliary Atresia

30
Q

Abnormal cystic dilation of biliary tree that most commonly affects CBD

A

Choledochal Cyst

31
Q

Patient comes in and clinically presents w/ jaundice and pain. She has a palpable mass in her RUQ. Ultrasound shows dilation of ductal system w/ a mass.

What would this indicate?

A

Choledochal cyst

32
Q

A

Infantile Hemangioendothelioma

33
Q

Infantile hemangioendothelioma grows rapidly causing abdominal distention.

T/F

A

True

34
Q

A patient comes in and presents clinically with hepatmegaly and elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein. Her abdomen is distended. Her ultrasound shows multiple hypoechoic lesions, calcification, and is well circumscribed.

What does she have, and how long will it take until it spontaneously regresses?

A

Infantile Hemangioendothelioma

35
Q

What is the most common primary malignant disease of the liver that occurs frequently in children under 5 and most are under 2 years old?

A

Hepatoblastoma

A

Hepatoblastoma

38
Q

A patient comes in and presents clinically with a palpable mass, elevated serum-alpha-fetoprotein, fever, pain and weight loss. When scanned, we find hepatomegaly w/ a solitary mass and calcification and portal vein thrombosis.

What does this patient have?

A

Hepatoblastoma
