Article Abstract
Objective: The aim: To study structural disorders of the liver depending on the duration of subhepatic cholestasis in patients of different age groups.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 50 obstructive jaundice patients were subdivided into two groups. Group I (n = 25) consisted of young (18-44-year-old) and middle-aged patients (45-59-year-old), while the Group II (n = 25) included elderly (60-74-year-old) and senile patients (75-90-year-old).
Results: Results: We performed morphological and morphometric studies of 50 liver biopsy specimens taken from patients of different age groups with different duration of obstructive jaundice: less than 7 days, 7-14 days, 14-21 days, 21-28 days, and over 28 days.
Conclusion: Conclusions: In patients of the Groups I and II, pathological hepatic changes in the early stages of mechanical jaundice were manifested in the form of he-patocyte dystrophy and hepatitis development. In the Group I patients, manifestations of steatohepatitis, fibrosis and initial signs of liver cirrhosis were noted in the late stages of subhepatic cholestasis. In addition to the above-mentioned changes, Group II patients, in the late stages of mechanical jaundice, presented signs of severe fibrosis and well-shaped liver cirrhosis. Taking into account the above morphological changes in the liver with different duration of subhepatic cholestasis, we consider reasonable to decompress bile ducts in patients of older age groups at earlier stages of mechanical jaundice compared to young and middle-aged patients, thus preventing post-decompression liver dysfunction and the subsequent development of biliary cirrhosis.

Cystic biliary atresia or atretic choledochal cyst: A continuum in infantile obstructive cholangiopathy.
Fetal Pediatr Pathol
December 2019
Pediatric Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, India.
Both cystic biliary atresia and choledochal cyst present as infantile obstructive cholangiopathy. : We detail an infant with congenital biliary dilatation and obstructive cholangiopathy where clinicoradiological features (antenatally imaged subhepatic cyst, early onset jaundice, intrahepatic dilated biliary radicals) suggested a choledochal cyst but operative findings (lack of a distal communication of cyst with duodenum) and histomorphological features (cicatricial collagen and myofibroblastic hyperplasia in the cyst wall; ductal plate malformation, ductular cholestasis and strong expression of CD56 in the liver) were those associated with biliary atresia. : The observations support the contention that BA and CC may be interim entities in a continuum of manifestation of the same pathology.

The manifestations of the diseases are similar, but their asymptomatic course is also frequent. IgG4-SC belongs to the group of IgG4 associated diseases and it is the most frequently related to type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis.

J Pediatr Surg
December 2016
Department of Paediatric Surgery, The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, Australia.
Purpose: Inspissated bile syndrome (IBS) is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice in neonates and infants with several treatment options reported. We present our experience with the use of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy drain catheter placement with ongoing saline lavage in neonates and infants.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy, from February 2010 till June 2015.
Interesting rendezvous location in a liver transplantation patient with anastomosis stricture.

An endoscopic or radiologic percutaneous approach may be an initial minimally invasive method for treating biliary strictures after living donor liver transplantation; however, cannulation of biliary strictures is sometimes difficult due to the presence of a sharp or twisted angle within the stricture or a complete stricture. When an angulated or twisted biliary stricture interrupts passage of a guidewire over the stricture, it is difficult to replace the percutaneous biliary drainage catheter with inside stents by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The rendezvous technique can be used to overcome this difficulty.
