Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA), characterized by obliteration or discontinuity of extrahepatic bile ducts, is still the major cause for liver transplantation among children nowadays [1]. All untreated children eventually die due to complications resulting from portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis. The exchange and diffusion of information that can make the diagnosis of EHBA easier is of utmost importance, since prognosis is improved when patients are surgically treated by portoenterostomy in the first 2 months of life. JMS 2014;17(1):39-40
