Recurrent subdural hematoma as presentation of neonatal biliary atresia: A case report

Abstract

Biliary atresia is a congenital disorder of progressive and obliterative cholangiopathy, the most common cause of neonatal cholestasis, it can cause secondary vitamin-K deficiency bleeding due to the malabsorption of lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins due to cholestasis. We report a 46-day-old child presenting with cholestatic features complicated by subdural hematoma (SDH) and cerebral edema. On investigations, she was found to be having primary biliary atresia, for which she was operated but had a recurrence of the SDH on the opposite side.
