[Idiopathic perforation of the extrahepatic bile ducts in a nursing infant].
Khirurgiia (Sofiia)

Article Synopsis
- A two-month-old infant showed signs of jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools, leading to a diagnosis of bile ascites and perforation of bile ducts.
- During emergency surgery, bile peritonitis was confirmed due to perforations at the junction of certain bile ducts.
- Unfortunately, despite treatment, the infant experienced serious postoperative complications, leading to death three days after the surgery.
Eight children with primary and secondary enteropathy were examined, in whom predominantly advanced partial atrophy and subtotal atrophy of the villous apparatus were established. Enzymic histochemical study of the activity of alkaline phosphatase showed correlation with the degree of villous atrophy. Our results confirm that the alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme, indicating regenerative activity of enterocytes.
